Luke 18: 1-8

The Parable of the Widow and the Unjust Judge

            Jesus told a parable about how you should always pray and never lose heart in God. Jesus said there was a judge who did not fear God and had no respect for other people. Where the judge lived there was a widow who continuously kept saying to him, 'Grant me justice against my opponent.' The judge refused for a while but later thought to himself, I have no fear in God or have any respect for anyone. The judge got tired of listening to the widow and will grant her justice, so that she may not wear out.

            I think what Jesus was trying to say in the story is to be respectful and to always pray. Jesus wanted us to learn to never lose heart in God so that you always have respect for yourself and other people. Jesus also wanted us to learn that praying is the thing that keeps you connected to God.
