Jack: “Daddy… daddy… daddy… daddy…”

Me: “Yes, Jack.”

Jack: “Daddy… daddy…”

Me: “Yes, Jack, I’m listening.”

Jack: “Daddy… can I watch a show?”

Usually the answer is no. Sometimes he wears me down. Plus, I kinda like Thunderbirds on Amazon Prime.

There’s a story Jesus told about a widow…

He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. 3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’

4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’” (Luke 18)

It pays to pray… and keep praying.

If annoyed, non-generous humans relent and help, how much more your loving heavenly Father? In His time, of course.

This week we continue in our series FAVOR WITH KINGS, following up on last week’s message about praying and fasting to cultivate conviction. (Listen here)

P.S.: Did you know our staff is currently office-less and mobile? We apologize for the inconvenience—we’re feeling it! Plans are in the works to move the Beach / Warner center… it’s just taking more time than expected.
