๐ŸŒบJesus told a parable in ๐‹๐ฎ๐ค๐ž ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ–:๐Ÿ-๐Ÿ– on why we should be persistent and persevere in prayer.

Luke 18:1-8 AMP

๐ŸŸกโ€œNow Jesus was telling the disciples a parable to make the point that at all times they ought to pray and not give up and lose heart, saying,

๐ŸŸก โ€œIn a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and had no respect for man.

There was a [desperate] widow in that city and she kept coming to him and saying, โ€˜Give me justice and legal protection from my adversary.โ€™

For a time he would not; but later he said to himself, โ€˜Even though I do not fear God nor respect man, yet because this widow continues to bother me, I will give her justice and legal protection; otherwise by continually coming she [will be an intolerable annoyance and she] will wear me out.โ€™ โ€

Then the Lord said, โ€œListen to what the unjust judge says! And will not [our just] God defend and avenge His elect [His chosen ones] who cry out to Him day and night?

Will He delay [in providing justice] on their behalf?

I tell you that He will defend and avenge them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find [this kind of persistent] faith on the earth?โ€โ€
