Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not to 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 the earth?”
Certainly Jesus knows His Father, and He is my Father too. God has a friendly face and is the most just and generous force there is. If only I give Him my steadfast loyalty, my Father will move heaven and earth for me. My Father does not begrudge me, but delights in giving to me and enjoys my joy. For this reason, turn your hope and your strength to God, because he will make your dreams come true before your very eyes.. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
