Importance of Prayer

In Lk 18:1-8, the parable of the unrighteous judge.  Lord Jesus encourages us to pray always, not to give up.

Widows came to the unrighteous judge for justice, she was refused. But because of her persistence, She got what she wanted. Prayer is important.

Jesus’s mother Mary asked Lord Jesus to provide wine for the wedding, Lord Jesus didn’t intend to perform miracle, but He did it because Mary requested.  (John 2:1-11).

Canannite women asked Lord Jesus to cast out demon from her daughter, but Lord Jesus came to preach the gospel to Israelites first, not for the Gentile, but because of the persistent of the Canannite’s woman, Lord Jesus did the miracle for this Canannite woman. (Matthew 15:21-28). She was praised for her faith.
