Yeshua (Jesus) told the parable of a widow who continued to come to a wicked judge asking for justice against her adversary. This judge did not fear God or respect men. But after a while of the widow’s consistent asking, the judge finally gave her what she asked for (Luke 18). Luke 18:1 tells the reason for the Lord telling this parable. It says, “He told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.“ Sometimes when we pray, our prayers won’t get answered right away. This can lead us to losing our…
