Pressing on in Prayer!

Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, saying: “There was in a curtain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, get justice for me from my adversary! And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, though I do not fear God nor regard man, yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me! Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. And shall not God avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth? Luke 18:1-8.

Saint, just as the widow never gave up on her quest for justice from an unjust judge, so it is with us! Although we do go through times of discouragement, we must not be discouraged as we wait for the Lord’s return. We must persist in prayer! Unlike the unjust judge in (verse 6), God always does the right thing. It may seem at times He delays. But from His perspective, He is acting speedily on our behalf (verse 8). The truth in this parable applies to any discouragement we are facing as we wait for answered prayer! We always ought to pray, and not lose heart! God is looking for faith before and when He returns!….So, “KEEP THE FAITH”. Because without it, it will be impossible to please Him! (Hebrews 11:6). “Blessings”!
