Reflections with Andy - Luke 18: 1-8 - The Unjust Judge

In Luke 18:1–8, Jesus tells the Parable of the Persistent Widow to remind us to pray always and not lose heart. I love this story because it’s both honest and funny—the unjust judge finally gives in, not because he cares, but because the widow simply won’t quit! Jesus uses that image to show us something powerful about faith: if persistence can move someone who doesn’t care, how much more will it move the heart of a God who loves us deeply? Prayer isn’t about bothering God—it’s about trusting Him enough to keep coming back. Even when we don’t see answers right away, we keep praying, keep showing up, and keep believing. So today, whatever you’re carrying, don’t give up. Be like that widow—faithful, persistent, and full of hope—because our God hears, loves, and will move in His perfect time.
