“On the seventh day, march around the city seven times.”
Joshua 6:4

To pray or not to pray—those are the only options. Whether you’ve been circling your prayers for the past seventeen days or seventeen years, if the answer is not yet, then you’ve got to keep circling. It’s always too early to give up! Because it’s never over until God says it’s over. If your cause is ordained by God, then the battle belongs to the Lord. It’s His victory to win, not yours. God’s timing is perfect. And as you wait, you’ve got to keep praying.

Today, examine the request you want to bring to God. No matter if it’s an old request or a new one, if it’s ordained by God, then write it down, keep praying, keep asking, keep circling.
