Luke 18 - Came to him repeatedly

Prayer is a bit like calling emergency services — in the moment you need it most, technique and philosophy are the last things on your mind. We explore a tension that sits at the heart of how we're taught to pray: 1 John 5:14 seems to say pray according to God's will, yet the persistent widow of Luke 18 is celebrated precisely for refusing to take no for an answer. We land on the Psalms as a model of "praying without ceasing" — not a constant religious performance, but the freedom to come to God raw, in whatever state you're actually in.
