Title Let's save the sense of prayer

Let's keep the sense of prayer alive (Luke 18:1-8)
Knowing that we are easy to give up on our prayers, Jesus said in verse 1, 'As a parable to us, we should always pray and not lose heart', saying, In a certain city, a judge who does not fear God and ignores people. He told the parable of a widow who granted her grievance because the judge had to go so often that he could not carry out his duties to avenge his grievance and made it too much trouble, and concluded with verses 7-8 of the main text.
I know I need to pray, but what is the reason for not being able to pray because my sense of prayer is dull? Why can't prayer be fervent? I would like to share a sermon with the subject of saving the sense of prayer.
1. Why is there no answer to prayer?
There is no answer because you did not ask for it. James 4:2 ‘…you do not have, because you do not ask.’ If you pray, you will repent, and if you pray, you will realize that you need to pray again. If you pray, you know that prayer is good. However, if you lose the sense of prayer, you cannot pray. How do I become a prayer? This is the problem.
2. How do you make use of the sense of prayer?
The reason why continuous prayer is not possible is because there is no sense of prayer. How can I save my sense of prayer? There must be an earnest title such as grudge
Chapter, Luke 18:3 'There was a widow in that city, and she went to her often and said, 'Peace my grudge against my enemies.' It should be the content of prayer with such a heart. How do you feel that way?
(1) If you read the Bible, you will be challenged.
2 Timothy 3:15...The Bible is able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. A life of reading the Bible and a life of prayer are almost in direct proportion.
(2) Seeing the great faith of others and being challenged
That is why I have to pray for such faith and blessings to happen to me by hearing testimonies, reading through books, looking through the Internet, and researching people who are known to believe well.
* A beggar caught fire in the neighborhood under the stone bridge, and his son said, ‘Father, we don’t have a house…’ In this case, there is no development.
Philippians 3:17 'Come together, brothers, imitate me, and show those who do the same, as we set an example' - What is apostolic faith? Living like the apostles and working full of power.
3. Praying until answered is the best way to pray
In verse 5, 'to make trouble', kovpon means 'toil and effort', which means that it interferes with other tasks to the extent that it is impossible. Because God gave his Son, he promised to give him everything in the world. Romans 8:32 “He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him also gift us all things?”
How many times do you pray a day?
Luther said that if you do not pray for more than two hours a day, that day is the day the devil will overcome.
1 Samuel 12:23 “I will never sin before the Lord in ceasing to pray for you, and I will teach you in the good and righteous way” 1 Thessalonians 5:17 “Pray without ceasing”
Luke 18:6-7 “And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge has to say. Relatively speaking, the God we believe in is gracious and omnipotent. So you have to believe it.
Matthew 21:22 “For whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive it.”
Verse 8, “I tell you, he will avenge him soon, but will he find faith on earth when the Son of Man comes?”
Do not forget that God does not change yesterday, today, or forever and He is pleased to give us everything within the promises of His Word. I hope that we will pray fervently and specifically.
