Pray.

 One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up…

Luke 18:1

Don’t give up. Pray, even when it seems your pleads are not being answered. Pray, even when you are tired and weary. Pray, even when you feel lost or like you’ve drifted away.

He knows, He listens, He cares.

The story Jesus shares after verse 1 tells of a judge who “neither feared God nor cared about people.”  A widow of that city came to the judge, asking him to help her. She didn’t ask once; Scripture says she went repeatedly.

“The judge ignored her for a while, but finally he said to himself, ‘I don’t fear God or care about people, but this woman is driving me crazy. I’m going to see that she gets justice, because she is wearing me out with her constant requests!’”

Then the Lord said, “Learn a lesson from this unjust judge.  Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So don’t you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?”

Keep praying. Have faith.
