“Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” Luke 18:1 NIV (emphasis mine)
This is the parable:
“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’
“For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”
And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 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?” Luke 18:2-8 NIV

Thanks for the reminder to persevere in “importunate” prayers like the steadfast widow…knowing our God will not grow weary of hearing from us as the worldly judge did.

We do tend to give up too quickly. But if we persevere (pester the Lord😏) it says something about how important the matter is to us.
