Reading: Luke 18:1-8

Devotional: Jesus teaches us about the power of persistent prayer through the parable of the persistent widow. This story reminds us that God is not an uncaring judge, but a loving Father who desires to answer our prayers. Today, reflect on your prayer life. Are there areas where you've given up too easily? Remember, persistence in prayer isn't about wearing God down, but about deepening your relationship with Him. Consider a prayer request you've abandoned and commit to bringing it before God again with renewed faith and specificity. As you pray, focus on God's character as a loving Father who delights in hearing from His children.

Reflection Question:

What does your level of persistence in prayer reveal about how you view God's character?

Action Step:

Choose one specific prayer request you've let go of, write it down, and commit to praying for it daily this week—trusting God with the outcome and timing.
