God Answers Persevering Prayer

A Sunday School teacher, because no conversions had occurred in her class of sixteen young men, resigned, thinking herself to blame or unfit for the great work.

Seeing the unflagging interest of her pupils, neither superintendent nor pastor would consent to it.

In her anxiety she prayed more earnestly for the Holy Spirit's help. One day while thus pleading she was so strongly moved to go and see a certain one at his home that she at once yielded, and in that home parlor she shared her anxiety that when prayer was suggested the pupil kneeled with her and soon yielded to Christ and was most happily converted. Thus encouraged she visited another, and another in turn, as opportunity opened, till she saw the whole sixteen won to Christ and added to the church. As vacancies occurred in her class, others joined and were often converted.

These pupils, passing out into the business world were urged by her to write annually a letter as to their Christian life, till finally, as years rolled on, she was receiving over two hundred letters from missionaries, lawyers, mechanics, farmers, physicians and others from various parts of the world, still busy in pulpit, or Sunday School, or other church work.

What if this teacher had persisted in her determination to give up her class? Would God have held her responsible? Will He hold YOU responsible if YOU give up?

"And let us not (as soul-winning Christian workers)grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap a harvest if we do not lose heart." Gal. 6:9
