Pray Persistently

The parable of the persistent widow and the unloving judge teaches us that God wants you to continue to keep bringing the same prayer requests before him so that he can a) see how serious you are and b) so that he can be assured of your continuous relationship through conversation and prayer. Above all, remaining persistent in prayer even though your prayers haven't been answered yet in the way you want shows that you have put your faith in Christ. He wants to see how strong your faith is.
