Pester power

If easy communication is one of the boons of the Internet, a considerable blight is ‘spam’ - that means unsolicited messages or Electronic Mails. Ignore them and they keep coming. A ‘buzz off’ reply only confirms you exist and ensures a greater deluge of mail, offering to extend your car mileage, extend credit, offer discount pills, even cosmetic surgery. It’s certainly in the spirit of the prayer-master’s advice to adopt the APU program when they pray. The acronym means; ‘ Be aggressive. Be persistent. Be unreasonable.’ The deviser of advertising messages certainly fulfil all three criteria. But where does our persistent widow fit in? A member of a vulnerable section of society, where all too frequently a deceased husbands’ estate went to his relatives. She was a squeaky wheel demanding oil. Persistent pleading like prayer takes a lot of faith. Are churches emptying because at heart some see prayer as totally irrelevant and useless, not to mention when God seems to say ‘no’. Have we confused prayer with saying prayers; get the right formula and posture ( like Moses with uplifted arms perhaps ?) and bingo - results. No, it’s something grittier, persistent and honest. Children don’t hide their sulks, pouts and tantrums. In prayer, we can be transparently honest and know that like a parent facing childish trauma, God is up to the task. Just be persistent.
