#226: The Parable of the Persistent Wido...

Sherilyn R. Grant and Christian Parenting
About this episode

Luke 18: 1-14. Jesus talked much about prayer. He was clear about the importance of talking on a regular basis with our Heavenly Father. He even gave parables, or illustrations, to help us understand how to pray. In this episode, we learn that it's okay to not give up our faith in prayer and that we should come to God with humble and repentant hearts.
