Luke 18:1-8

“Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’ For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’” And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”

Sometimes, as humans, we feel very discouraged in our prayers and efforts. We cry out to the Lord day and night and feel as if we get no response. Even worse, we may doubt God’s ability to hear and answer our prayers. Though there are times when God clearly says no, we have to remember the virtue of patience and the value of persistence.

God is always faithful to answer the prayers of His children. In this story, this woman kept bothering an UNJUST judge about granting her justice; and, because she persisted on it, he granted her justice….JUST TO GET HER TO LEAVE HIM ALONE lol. So, if God is fair and just, and most of all, cares for us, then how much more would He give us the desires of our hearts if we ask Him? So, don’t give up! Wait, have faith, and PUSH!!!--- > Pray Until Something Happens! :)
