“This woman is driving me crazy. I’m going to see that she gets justice, because she is wearing me out with her constant requests!’” (Luke‬ ‭18‬:‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬)

- “This woman”

- Does this woman describe your prayer life?

- Would you ever be accused of driving God crazy because of your constant requests and petitions?

- Jesus doesn’t care how eloquent you are or how your prayers appear to others.

- He doesn’t care if you sound formal or informal.

- It’s all about your personal passion and sincerity of heart

- This is Jesus teaching a lesson.

- The lesson is that they “should always pray and never give up.” (Luke‬ ‭18‬:‭1‬)

- Always pray & Never Give up!

- It’s like a child who keeps tapping their parent’s leg to get their attention for something that they want their parent to buy but they don’t have the money.

- It’s asking and asking and asking and asking!

- It’s putting yourself at the complete mercy of another.

- It’s humble and dependent.

- This woman in this example doesn’t care what she looks like or how it sounds to others.

- It’s a desperate plea!

- But not just desperate, it’s desperate and relentless!

- This is what we are being instructed by our teacher Jesus to do.

- So today, pull out a piece of paper and write down your needs to the Lord!

- Then when they are clear and specific, call on the name of your righteous judge.

- He says: “Don’t you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who cry out to him day and night?” (18‬:‭7‬)

- Hold him to his word.

- Our problem is that we become too dependent on ourselves and less dependent on him.

- Ask him as if there is no other solution to your problem or request unless God responds!

- No plan “B”

- No alternate!

- Jesus says, “I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly!

- Quickly!

- He goes on to say, “But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?” (18‬:‭8‬ )

- This is all about faith!

- Will he find you?

- Have a great Monday!
