Luke 18:1-8 One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up. “There was a judge in a certain city,” he said, “who neither feared God nor cared about people. A widow of that city came to him repeatedly, saying, ‘Give me justice in this dispute with my enemy.’ The judge ignored her for a while, but finally he said to himself, ‘I don’t fear God or care about people, but this woman is driving me crazy. I’m going to see that she gets justice, because she is wearing me out with her constant requests!’ "Then the Lord said, “Learn a lesson from this unjust judge. Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So don’t you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?”
This story reminds us that there is power in prayer. God always responds to our prayers but it is not always when or how we may be wanting or expecting Him to. I encourage you to never give up on anything you are asking God for. He always comes through and He is always faithful. Be patient in your waiting and be aware that how you want a response may not be how God wants to reveal Himself. Stay open to His ways and His knowledge because He is a God who answers prayers.
