Luke 18:1
"Then Jesus told His disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up."
In Jesus parable, He illustrated a widow and an unjust judge. The widow kept coming to the judge to plead for justice; however, the judge refused her request at first. Yet in the end, he granted the woman's request because she wouldn't stop bothering him.
Jesus did not give this parable to say that God is like the unjust judge but to show that ๐๐จ๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฎ๐ง๐ฅ๐ข๐ค๐ ๐ก๐ข๐ฆ.

๐พ๐บ๐๐ ๐๐๐บ๐:
The judge is unfair; God is fair
The judge had no personal interest in the widow; God loves and cares for those who petition Him.
The judge answered the widow's cry out of pure self-interest; God loves to bless His people for their good also.
The judge is uncompassionate; God is filled with compassion for believers who suffer. He will certainly respond to His beloved ones who cry for His help.
Jesus encourages us to pray always and not lose heart. Since..
"Persistence in prayer brings a transforming element into our lives, building into us the character of God Himself. "(Charles Spurgeon)
Let us always remember, Jesus lived a prayerful life, and He ever lives to pray for His people (Hebrews 7:25).
We must therefore not lose heart in prayer.
