The Parable of the Persistent Widow

1 Then He spoke a parable to them, that men aalways ought to pray and not lose heart,  
2 saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor1 regard man.  
3 Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying,1 ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’  
4 And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man,
5 ayet because this widow troubles me I will1 avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’ ”  
6 Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said.
7 And ashall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?

Luke 18:1

Luke 18:1 Parables Concerning Prayer SUMMARY OF LUKE 18: The Widow and the Unjust Judge. The Pharisee and the Publican. Little Children Brought to Christ. The Young Ruler Seeking for Eternal Life. Going Through the Needle's Eye. The Lord's Sufferings Declared to the Twelve. Blind Bartimaeus Healed at Jericho. Men ought always to pray. Prayer is a privilege and a duty. Not to faint.
