The Parable Of The Persistent Widow

Luke 18 (New American Standard Bible)

Luke 18

Parables on Prayer

 ¹Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they^(A)ought to pray and not to ^(B)lose heart, ²saying, "In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not ^(C)respect man.
 ³"There was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, 'Give me legal protection from my opponent.'
 ⁴"For a while he was unwilling; but afterward he said to himself, 'Even though I do not fear God nor ^(D)respect man,
 ⁵yet ^(E)because this widow bothers me, I will give her legal protection, otherwise by continually coming she will ^(F)wear me out.'"
 ⁶And ^(G)the Lord said, "Hear what the unrighteous judge said;
 ⁷now, will not God ^(H)bring about justice for His ^(I)elect who cry to Him day and night, and will He ^(J)delay long over them?
 ⁸"I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, ^(K)will He find faith on the earth?"

Even when everything seems to fall apart, don't ever turn your back on God. Just as we read in this parable, we should continue to persevere and press on. Faith is something we have to strive to increase it in our lives.

Remember that whatever that is impossible for us, it's possible with God our Father.
