Believers can learn from the parable of the persistent widow woman and the unwilling judge .
Luke 18:3-5 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
[4] And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
[5] Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
Because of her social and financial standing, she had no other hope but to make a nuisance of herself.
This widow represents us.
The lesson here is this: We may not get the answer we want immediately, but keep asking, keep believing, and keep praying ‘till light breaks through.
Persistence in prayer pays off in God’s time.
