Praying is hard to do

Yesterday at the prayer meeting I was struck by the fact we are called to keep persevering in our prayers.  I had a picture of us like the freinds of the paralysed man tearing the roof apart to get to Jesus.
I felt Jesus saying we have to keep digging no matter how long it may be taking or how hard it gets.  He will be there right beside us helping us to reach the presence of God
