Jesus told a parable in ๐๐ฎ๐ค๐ ๐๐:๐-๐ on why we should be persistent and persevere in prayer.
Luke 18:1-8 AMP
โNow 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,
โIn 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, โGive me justice and legal protection from my adversary.โ
For a time he would not; but later he said to himself, โEven 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, โListen 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?โโ
