We Pray And God Answers

Now Jesus was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not lose heart, saying “In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not respect man.  There was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, “Give me legal protection from my opponent.”

For a while he was unwilling; but afterward he said to himself, “Even though I do not fear God nor respect man, yet because this widow bothers me, I will give her legal protection, otherwise by continually coming she will wear me out.”

And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge said; now will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them?  I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly….”

Luke 18:1-8

Anyone who has children knows that when the kids ask us for something and we tell them “no,” they will invariably ask the same question again and again and again, hoping for a different answer.  This is called playing the slot machine.  The kids keep putting the nickels in, and hoping to win. 

With God we pray and He answers us.  We may not get the answer we want immediately, but we can be sure an answer is on the way and that answer will be the best answer. 

We pray and God answers.
