Blessed are the Tenacious

Sometimes I think God loves a good wrestle. Throughout all of Scripture there appears to be this ongoing challenge that God has with people, and people with God. For instance, there are times when I go to God with a need that Im hoping God will fulfill. When the prayer isnt answered the way I want, I stop. But I wonder, in those times, if God is challenging me to see how hungry I am for what Im seeking. Its like God is looking at me with a daring smile, saying: Cmonlets see what youre made of! The question is, will I accept the challenge?
