Listen "The Persistent Widow • Luke 18:1-8"
Episode Synopsis
Jesus tells his disciples the story of the persistent widow to encourage them "to always pray and not give up." We are not always told the meaning of one of Jesus's teachings so clearly; yet even in its clearest, simplest form, this teaching can be difficult to follow. Many obstacles attempt to deter us from persistent prayer. Ultimately, Jesus's encouragement "to always pray and not give up" is an invitation to abide in God's presence. Unlike the unjust judge, the Lord hears our prayers in love, and His faithfulness sustains us through all the injustice we suffer on Earth.Anna Russell Thornton
