Bible Verses About Prayer: With importunity

The man said, "Let me go, because it's daybreak." But Ya'akov replied, "I won't let you go unless you bless me."

But I tell you, even if he won’t get up because the man is his friend, yet because of the man’s hutzpah he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

“Moreover, I myself say to you: keep asking, and it will be given to you; keep seeking, and you will find; keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you.

Then Yeshua told his talmidim a parable, in order to impress on them that they must always keep praying and not lose heart.

“In a certain town, there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected other people.

There was also in that town a widow who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me a judgment against the man who is trying to ruin me.’

For a long time he refused; but after awhile, he said to himself, ‘I don’t fear God, and I don’t respect other people;

but because this widow is such a nudnik, I will see to it that she gets justice — otherwise, she’ll keep coming and pestering me till she wears me out!’”

Then the Lord commented, “Notice what this corrupt judge says.

Now won’t God grant justice to his chosen people who cry out to him day and night? Is he delaying long over them?
