“Persistent Prayer” – Luke 18:1-8

Jesus teaches us to pray by means of a contrast of a heartless judge who gives in to the persistence of a widow to our loving Father who will certainly hear the prayers of His children and answer them as He knows best. We do not always understand or appreciate our Father’s answer to prayer, yet by grace through faith we accept it and keep on praying knowing that we will be delivered from all evil in the end.
