## Resource

Jesus teaches about persistent prayer through the parable of a widow who continually seeks justice from an unjust judge, showing that God, who is righteous and compassionate, will respond to those who cry out to Him. He then contrasts two men praying in the temple—a self-righteous Pharisee and a humble tax collector—revealing that God honors those who come with humility and repentance rather than pride. Together, these teachings emphasize that a faithful life is marked by persistent dependence on God and a posture of humility before Him. Looking for a previous devo? Want to share one with a friend?
