Pray and Pray Again

Now He 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.  However, when the Son of Man comes will He find faith on earth?”

Luke 18:1-8

Jesus was as close to God as anyone could be.  He is in fact God in the form of man.  When Jesus instructs us to pray and pray again and to have faith that God hears us and will answer us, He is speaking the truth.  We as humans want instant results, but God has His timetable for all things and we need to understand that all things happen at the time which is best. 

Keep praying and asking.  God is listening.
