Title Praying Family (Luke 18:7)
Content: There are many times in our lives when we face injustice. In such a case, it is a great grace to be able to complain to God in prayer. God hears our unjust complaints.
When we pray, the work of the kingdom of heaven takes place. But one thing we need to know is that we should not pray with covetousness and lust. When we pray, we should seek God's will and earnestly complain about our injustice. Samuel's mother, Hannah, was the father of Peninnah, who had children, and had a sad face and could not eat properly. However, through earnest prayer as if drunk with wine, I was able to obtain a son Samuel and praise God's work.
Jesus' lessons about earnest prayer and God's involvement are also recorded in the text. A widow went to the unjust judge and begged her to avenge her. How tenacious this widow's plea was that this judge, who neither feared God nor disregarded men, ended up thinking [I will avenge her, or she will always come and torment me]. As Jesus told the story, he said, "How much more will God not avenge the elect, who cry out day and night?"
When we cry out to God with earnest heart, at first our eyes see no evidence, our ears hear no sound, our hands cannot grasp, everything is darkness and it seems that we are under the control of the devil. The work of the devil will disappear and the glory of God will be revealed.
We are always in a spiritual battle. The devil is trying to deceive more people and destroy mankind by any means. However, the Holy Spirit of God wants more people to be saved and become God's people by defeating the works of the devil through us who pray earnestly.
Jesus said, [This kind cannot come out by anything but prayer]. God comes among us based on our prayers to destroy the devil and expand the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, our family should always pray to become faithful saints and expand the kingdom of heaven.
Prayer: Thank God Almighty. We want to be a family that always prays. There was something we lustfully asked for wrong. Forgive us and lead us on the right path. Please solve our family's difficulties and help us take care of our poor and marginalized neighbors. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
