    What Prayer Isn't

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Dec 11, 2023
     | 1,266 views

    Even though we pray, we may wonder at times: “Why do I pray? What does it accomplish?” Along the way, we may pick up some misperceptions. I want to talk about what prayer isn’t.

    The widow of the parable was pretty frustrated.

    Parable of the Widow and the Unjust Judge teaches persistence, faith, and prayer, with a promise of God’s ultimate justice.

    A) Always Pray and Don’t Give Up (18:1) “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” (18:1) Verse 1 starts with “Then.” Notice that this teaching on prayer follows directly on Jesus’ teaching on the coming of the Son of Man. Indeed, verse ...read more
