Jesus told a story to teach us to keep praying and not give up.
A widow kept going to a judge and asking, “Please help me! Make things fair!” The judge didn't care. But she kept coming back again and again.
Finally the judge said, “Okay! I'll help her so she'll stop bothering me!” Jesus said, “If a grumpy judge helps, how much more will God, who loves you, help His children!”
