Luke 18:1-8

Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always and not to lose heart. He said, ‘In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor had respect for people. In that city there was a widow who kept coming to him and saying, “Grant me justice against my opponent.” For a while he refused; but later he said to himself, “Though I have no fear of God and no respect for anyone, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant her justice, so that she may not wear me out by continually coming.” ’ And the Lord said, ‘Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God grant justice to his chosen ones who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long in helping them? I tell you, he will quickly grant justice to them. And yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?’

What do you think Jesus meant by this and do you think He will find faith on earth when He returns?

Speak the Truth Even If Your Voice Shakes

“The word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” “Alas, Sovereign LORD,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am too young.” But the LORD said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the LORD. Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth. See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.” Jeremiah 1:4-9 

Bible Verse on Hope

But the needy will not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the afflicted ever perish. Psalm 9:18 Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD. Psalm 1:24 But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, Psalm 33:18 May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you. Psalm 33:22 "But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you." Psalm 39:7 For you have been my hope, O Sovereign LORD, my confidence since my youth. Psalm 71:5 My soul faints with longing for your salvation, but I have put my hope in your word. Psalm 119:81 May those who fear you rejoice when they see me, for I have put my hope in your word. Psalm 119:74

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. I will quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. I will quit focusing on self-preservation and be willing to take risks. I will quit trying to be who I am not and start being myself. I will quit holding out or holding back. I will quit running away. I will burn sinful bridges and blaze new trails. I will not let what's wrong with me keep me from worshipping what's right with God. I will go after the dream He's given me that's "God-sized" enough to fail without Him. I will stop complaining and find creative ways to be part of the solution. I will step out of my comfort zone and value every experience — even the difficult ones. I will worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. I will follow Him wherever He leads me.
