Sermon Notes: August 3rd Luke - Chapter 18 . Check us out at: https://citylightvicksburg.org/ Or check us out here: https://www.facebook.com/citylightvicksburg . Questions - should I pray for little selfish things? And, is asking for something once in prayer enough? . Prayer is something that we should all want to become better at. God not only encourages us to pray often, but to pray boldly. Jesus tells us to be “persistent” and not to lose heart. . The parable Jesus gives us is of a corrupt judge and a persistent widow. All she has is her plea for justice. In this story, the corrupt judge finally grants her request to just get rid of her. Let’s be clear, Jesus is saying that if an unrighteous judge gives this widow an answer, how much more swiftly and fully will God give an answer to His chosen, beloved children. . Pray persistently, and do not quit. God will answer in His perfect will and His perfect timing. . Can we bring little or selfish things to God? We might feel guilty asking God for a parking spot. Or success in a hobby. We often think that God is so big that we should only bring the big things to him. But we should not censor ourselves. Bring your heart to God when you pray! . In the prayer Jesus gives us, we’re to ask God for a cosmic big thing - “Your kingdom come.” But also a small thing - “Our daily bread.” . So always let your prayers be known to God. . But our prayers also allow us to analyze our heart. If our prayers are driven by sinful intent, then it’s not something we should pray for, but something that we should be praying ‘about.’ God’s children have permission to bring everything before the Lord in prayer. Persistent prayer is about faith in action, not dominating God. You won’t jeopardize His will for your life, by asking many times for what you want. . Jesus puts a high value on persistence. Got does not need to be convinced. It’s not for God’s sake. It’s for our sake. By maintaining persistence in prayer demonstrates faith in our God. How many blessings have we left on the table because we didn’t pray in persistence? . Sometimes… despite our prayers, it seems like the answer is “no.” These are moments that may test our faith. But you should take your anger, take your fear, take your despair to God. Your disappointments is a time to run to God, in prayer. That - in itself - is prayer. Even when we wait in silence for the words to come.

Did Jesus teach us to continually ask in prayer until we get an answer and receive what we ask for? In Luke 18 we take on our final parable in this series with the widow who came to the judge and wouldn’t back stop asking until she received what she asked for. Jesus taught that parable “that men always ought to pray and not lose heart” (Luke 18:1) So where and how does persistence fit in with our prayers and why does Jesus end this parable with “Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”

Sunday, January 15, 2023 - We're studying the Parable of the Persistent Widow in today's service. Prayer is a mysterious wonder of God, don't you agree? Sometimes it's easy to approach God during our prayer time, and other times it's a battle. Sometimes we can feel the presence of God like He's sitting in the room with us; other times, our prayers don't make it past the ceiling. Can you relate to this? No matter what, it's the way God has ordained for us to communicate with Him. This parable's message is persistence and staying persistent in our prayer time, especially when it seems our prayers are ineffective. Jesus ends the parable with a question, "will He find faith on the earth when He returns?" Faith and prayer are related in the context of prayer as an expression of our faith in God. He is faithful to answer prayers according to His Will and in His perfect time. He knows what's best for us, and He loves us enough to answer our prayers with a "Yes," "Not yet," or even a "No," and it's up to us to trust Him in the process. If we do, that will help us to be found faithful when He returns. Is that your prayer? I trust it is...

Prayer is a vital part of our walk with Christ. It is the foundational communion we have with Him each and every day. In our prayer time, we take time to thank and praise our Father, inquire about what's on our heart and we bring to Him our requests. And of course, when we pray about a request, we want Him to answer it. But what about when we have unanswered prayers? Does that mean He isn't hearing us? No. But it does mean we can look to scripture for how to handle the times when we are waiting upon an answer to our prayers.
