In Luke 18:1–8, Jesus tells the story of a widow who refused to give up and a God who never fails to listen. Prayer can feel discouraging when answers are delayed or silence lingers, but Jesus teaches that persistence is an act of faith. We keep praying not because God is reluctant, but because He is faithful. Through prayer, our hearts are shaped, our trust deepens, and our hope is renewed. Even when heaven seems quiet, God is working—and He invites us to keep praying and never lose heart.
