Being Persistent in Prayer

In Luke 18: 1- 8, we explore Jesus’ parable of the persistent widow and the unjust judge—a story that challenges us to pray with perseverance and trust. What does it mean to “always pray and not give up”? How do we hold onto faith when answers seem delayed?

 

The parable teaches us that: 

• Prayer is an act of faith—not a way to twist God’s arm, but to deepen our trust.

• God is not indifferent—He hears, He cares, and He responds with justice.

• Persistence shapes us—forming courage, character, and a heart aligned with God’s purposes.

Jesus ends with a powerful question: “When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” Let’s be a people who keep praying, keep trusting, and never give up.
