Eureka!

The Parable of the Persistent Widow

1Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2He said: "In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. 3And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my adversary.'
4"For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care about men, 5yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!' "
6And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"

Wow! I loved my personal bible time yesterday. It was such affirmation of my thoughts the night before. I suddenly had the realization that I had never prayed to the Lord asking that He help Kate sleep better at night!
Eureka! Pray! So of course I did and will continue to do so.
So the next morning (yesterday) to open up God's Word and read about how even the unjust person of the world can eventually grant a request when pressed, how much more would a God that loves us, do for our prayers, petitions and appeals?
I especially am holding on to the "cry out day and night" line because since I have prayed about it (a total of two days now) she has never slept worse. That is actually why I am up now. Kate has been up ,down, up down, for forever it seems. But I know that the enemy would love to see me falter in my prayers to my Savior! And I WILL not. So I will CRY OUT to the Lord, as much if not more than Kate appears to be doing, lol, and wait on Him who I know will answer!
And if she does not sleep better? Well, "However when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?" speaks to me as well. I WILL have faith! (of course this means though He grants our requests, will He still come to find a faithless people) But also that we need to trust Him. Perhaps she is not sleeping in prep for another soon coming baby, perhaps there is a NEED for me being up so much. Who knows! I do know that I have faith that his plan is to PROSPER me NOT to harm me, so I can take comfort in the fact that he hears me, knows what I want, knows what I need and will do what is best for me regardless of what I think.
What a wonderful parent we have in the Lord!
