In Luke 18:1-8 Jesus tells a story of the persistent widow who constantly pleads her case before an unjust judge. She pleads so much that the judge says this woman is driving me crazy and he ruled in her favour!
Jesus then relates this to our prayers before the Father. In verses 6-7 He says, “Learn a lesson from this unjust judge. [7] Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So don’t you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?”
Jesus is reminding us that sometimes we need to push through with our prayers. We need to persist in our petitions for ourselves and our intercessions for others like the widow before the judge. Jesus promises that the Father will hear us and bring justice.
One acronym I find helpful is P.U.S.H…
Pray
Until
Something
Happens
Sometimes we need to fast and pray all day or even for a few days before breakthrough comes. At other times we need to keep things before the Lord for months and pray every morning or night before we see breakthrough. I have experienced both.
So if you have a big issue you are concerned about at the moment, I would encourage you to take it before the Lord in prayer. Be like the persistent widow and PUSH it before Him day and night. Jesus promises the Father will hear your prayers and bring justice.
