Widow

Day 5 of a week with Francis Frangipane on Prayer

Provoking thoughts on prayer

When it is all said and done, is it possible that this widow in Luke 18 may not have been a singular person but a corporate church—a “widow church”—united in Christ in a singular, desperate prayer for protection from her adversary?

It is our turn to pray. We are the widow who cannot give herself a reason for failure; God will answer our day-and-night cry. Let us position ourselves at His throne. Certainly, He will grant us legal protection in or cities.

Heavenly Father, forgive us for our lack of prayer and for giving ourselves excuses to fail. Lord, we thank You for making us desperate. Help us now to prevail, to attain the “legal protection” You have provided us against the adversary. In Jesus name.
