Proverbs 25:15 KJV
By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
If we look at the prince as the Lord Jesus Christ then this gives us an admonition again to persistent prayer. Prayer is a Biblical injunction that appears to me to be totally for our benefit
The Lord already knows our needs before we ask them
The Lord in most cases meets our needs before we ask for them
But the Lord also says we, “…have not because we ask not"
And the Lord instructs us that many prayers will not be answered without persistent prayer.
God delights in meeting our needs
God knows we have the needs before we tell Him about them but
God wants to be persuaded.
Pray fervently
Pray frequently
Pray faithfully
And, "By long forbearing…" our prince will be persuaded.
