PRAY until something happens

…Whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.  ~ John 3:16

A man was sleeping when the Savior appeared.  The LORD told him there was work to be done, and showed him a massive rock which he was to push with all his might.  For many years the man toiled.  The Adversary sensed his despair and placed thoughts into his weary mind:  “You are never going to move it.” 
“Why kill myself over this?” the man thought.  He decided to make it a matter of prayer and take his troubled thoughts to the LORD.
“I have labored long and hard in Your service. Yet, I have not budged that rock by half a millimeter. Why am I failing?”
The LORD responded compassionately, “When I asked you to serve me, your task was to push against the rock with all your strength.  Never once did I mention that I expected you to move it.  And now you come to me, thinking that you have failed.  But now you are strong and muscled. Through opposition your abilities now surpass that which you used to have.  Your calling was to be obedient and to exercise your faith in Me, and you have done so.  I, my friend, will now move the rock.”
By all means, exercise the faith that moves mountains, but know that it is God who moves them.  ~ Author unknown

 Do you entertain thoughts from the Adversary when you grow weary?
