persistent prayer shows faith

'One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up.' “There was a judge in a certain city,” he said, “who neither feared God nor cared about people.  A widow of that city came to him repeatedly, saying, ‘Give me justice in this dispute with my enemy.’ The judge ignored her for a while, but finally he said to himself, ‘I don’t fear God or care about people, but this woman is driving me crazy. I’m going to see that she gets justice, because she is wearing me out with her constant requests!’” Then the Lord said, “Learn a lesson from this unjust judge. 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? I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?”

LOOK
If we have been praying for something even 10 years ago and you have not yet seen the results. Keep praying. This is a form of Faith. When you stop praying about something it shows that you've given up and don't think it's possible for God to answer that prayer. God loves when His children pray persistently no matter what.

Remember
Abraham was 100 years old when he had a son from Sarah.

Luke 18:1-8
