And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?
Jesus told the parable of a persistent widow who continually asked for justice. The judge ignored her requests but she never gave up. Her persistency paid off because the judge got tired of her pleas and eventually granted her requests.
It may seem easier to give up when uncomfortable situations do not change, when our loved ones continue to make wrong choices and when we suffer injustices time and time again.
As long as we continue to pray we are keeping hope alive. We are saying we believe that a change will come. When we give up and stop praying we are taking our eyes off the finish line and the goal and we forget why the situation needed our prayers.
May we remember that God hears our prayers and he will bring about justice for his chosen ones.
