Luke18:1 One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up. NLT
Years ago, when my first son was just a toddler, I was home alone with him. At that time, he was about three years old and called me "Daddy" more than ten times in just two minutes, trying to get my attention.
At times, I pretended to understand him to keep the peace. I grew weary of his incessant calls, but I realized he wouldn’t stop until I responded. Back then, only a reply would satisfy him.
I was curious about how he developed his own vocabulary. He referred to nearly every insect or animal as "kukuku." My wife would say, "Can you see what I deal with when you're not around?" She understood almost all of his words and gestures perfectly, except for a few. He had created his own terms for various objects.
That experience deepened my appreciation for mothers and the challenges they face with children during their formative years. My son is much older now and has adapted, but I took away a valuable lesson from that time with him.
*Don't stop calling on God, He is never tired of you.*
God is our Father, and He invites us to approach Him with the innocence of a child. While He is undoubtedly our Father, He also embodies many nurturing qualities often associated with motherhood. The Bible introduces God to us as "El Shaddai," a term that implies He is abundantly nurturing, much like a mother who provides sustenance and care. Just as good mothers never tire of their children, God continually supports and nourishes us.
I also discovered that my son has developed his own vocabulary, most of which his mother understands. The same applies to prayer. We often struggle in prayer because we try to be "formal" and perfect in our language. However, the Bible teaches us that we have an infirmity—we don't always know how to pray. That's why we engage the Holy Spirit in our prayer.
Romans 8:26 says, *"And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words*" (NLT).
There are things men cannot understand especially how you feel in times of trials.He understand your vocabulary.
*Praying to God goes beyond kneeling and speaking choice words*.
He's waiting to hear those vocabularies you've developed that only Him understands. Don't stop calling on Him, he never sleeps he never slumbers, rest in His love.
God, I thank you for your fatherhood over my life. Lord, I ask (...insert request) in Jesus name.
