Commentary
Luke 18 is a chapter that speaks to the power of faith and prayer. Jesus tells a parable of a persistent widow who continually petitions a judge for justice. The judge, who is initially unsympathetic to her plight, eventually grants her justice because of her persistence. Jesus then tells his disciples that if an unrighteous judge can be moved by the widow's persistence, then how much more will God answer the prayers of his people.
