“Jesus told them a story showing that it was necessary for them to pray consistently and never quit.” (Luke 18:1 MSG)
The above verse introduces the story of a persistent widow who continued to pester a judge until she got justice. During biblical times, a widow represented someone who was powerless, because she did not have anyone to speak for her. Thus, she had very little recourse when it came to seeking justice.
Even now, there are many marginalized members of society that are helpless. Immigrants, refugees, religious minorities, the LGBT community, people with disabilities, etc. What would Jesus say to those who are victims of injustice?
Be persistent in prayer. Climb over the despair of rejection. Surrender your anxieties. Trust God.
