Luke 18
The Parable of the Persistent Widow
1 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.
2 He said: "In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men.
3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my adversary.'
4 "For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care about men,
5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!' "
6 And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says.
7 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?
8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"

press on, sarah! the Lord hears your plea!!
Great passage! Keep the faith.
I am one of those people who tends to think I MUST be annoying God with my relentless prayers. I've had to remind myself of these verses many times over the last 5 1/2 years...
Amen Sarah!!! Hang in there...we're on the verge of answered prayers & blessings!!!
keep the faith, Olson family! I can feel God working and moving mountains ~ I have faith He will move your file, too.
Praying Tim's travels will help facilitate some good news, too!
Love you guys!
