1 Kings 18:43

Jesus propos'd likewise this parable to them, to show that they should persevere in prayer, and not be discouraged.

Pour out your souls unto God upon all occasions, watching in prayer with all perseverance and supplication for all christians:

for it is necessary you should persevere, that after having perform'd what God has commanded, you may receive what he has promised.
