If God hears my prayer, should I pray for something more than once?

[su_audio url=" [ommtop] [su_spoiler title="Click for transcription..." style="default" open="no"]Yes. But not because there's a shortcoming in God that makes Him slow to hear or act or forgetful. The problem is with us, and God calls us to be patient and persistent in prayer about certain things and to request them regularly, such as praying for the salvation of friend or family member. In Luke 18 the chapter begins with a parable, the point of which was to teach "that men ought always to pray, and not to faint." When we read the parable we discover that it's not continued prayers about different things, but continued prayers about the same thing, because the widow's desire was for the judge to avenge her of her adversary. God shapes us and teaches us things in the persistence of prayer. Furthermore, the delays and repetition of prayer help us to remember that we serve God, not the other way round. So let us keep asking, seeking, and knocking for those matters that demand repetition in prayer and persistence before God.[/su_spoiler]
