About the next group of questions

This passage shows how much God cares about our problems. And it tells us how to pray when there is no answer.

Pray

Ask God to teach you more about prayer as you study today.

Read: Luke 18:1-8

18:1 Why did Jesus tell his followers this story?

18:2 What was wrong with the judge?

18:3 Who continued to come to the judge? What did the widow want the judge to do?

18:4 How did the judge answer the widow at first?

18:5 Why did the judge help the widow in the end?

18:6 How did Jesus describe the judge?

18:7 Who really cares about his own people? How should we pray when we are in trouble?

18:8 How does God show greater kindness than the unfair judge in the story? What sort of people will Jesus look for when he returns?

Final remarks

Jesus wants us to show that we trust God. We show this as we continue to pray. We should do this even when God does not seem to answer our prayers. God is never unfair. He always hears our prayers. But he answers in his own time and in his own way.

Pray

Father God, thank you that you always hear me when I pray to you. Thank you that you want to help me. Please help me when I am in trouble. Help me to trust you more. Help me to continue to look to you for help. Amen.
