0:00.0 | Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical dot net. |
0:04.6 | Luke chapter 18 verses 1 through 8 |
0:08.6 | and Jesus told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. |
0:15.1 | He said in a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man, |
0:20.1 | and there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, |
0:23.0 | Give me justice against my adversary. |
0:26.0 | For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself, |
0:30.0 | though I neither fear God nor respect man, yet because this widow keeps bothering me. I will give her justice |

1:49.3 | who gives this persistent widow what she is asking because of her persistence. |
1:56.3 | And then Jesus says, how much more will God who is just give us what we ask as we persist in asking as we pray and don't lose |
2:10.0 | heart like I think about the times I have prayed and pleaded for something and it |
2:17.8 | seems like God is not answered or been answering. I can think about even right now as I am praying, my family is just |
2:27.2 | pleading day in and day out for the way to be open to go pick up our son who we are adopting. We've been waiting for months and nothing has happened. |
