The Persistent Widow

Luke 18:1-8

Then Jesus told His disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. . . . (He then told them about the Persistent Widow.) And will not God bring about justice for His chosen ones, who cry out to Him day and night? I tell you, He will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the Earth?

We are to continue to pray and ask God for what it is that we need. If the unjust judge would help the widow because of her persistence, how much more does God care for His children and want to give us every good thing we need? And if He has not answered yet, we can know that the answer is on its way and is already ours. 

O my Father, Help us to continue to ask You for what You want to give us. Keep us persistent, strengthen our faith to make us unwavering, and preserve our lives to the end, the Parousia.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
