- We know how uncommon and difficult a virtue is persistence in prayer; and in this our unbelief betrays itself, for unless our first requests are answered, we at once give up hope and also the practice of prayer.
- In the parable Christ introduces a widow who gets what she wants from an unfair and cruel judge because she did not stop asking. The point of it is that God does not help His people immediately because in a sense He wants them to tire themselves out with praying.
- How then shall the prayers of believers be unfruitful if only they persist in them? Therefore if we are weakened by boredom, if when we have done a little we give up, or if our fervor in prayer languishes because God seems to have deaf ears, let us still be convinced that success will be assured even if it is not yet seen. And in this confidence let us so wrestle against our impatience that a longer delay does not break our perseverance in prayer. John Calvin
