In this sermon, the preacher discusses the importance of not losing heart in prayer, even when we don't see immediate results. He shares the parable of the unjust judge and the persistent widow to illustrate this point. The unjust judge, who had no regard for God or people, eventually grants the widow's request because she continually comes to him. Jesus uses this parable to emphasize that if an unjust judge would answer a persistent plea, how much more will God answer the prayers of His people. The preacher encourages believers to have faith and continue praying, trusting that God will avenge them speedily.

Andrew Murray emphasizes the necessity of persevering in prayer, whether for oneself or for others, highlighting that true spiritual labor requires our full commitment and effort. He draws a parallel between the diligence needed in physical labor and the spiritual work of prayer, urging believers to sow seeds in the heavenly realm with confidence that they will reap in due time if they do not lose heart. Murray encourages persistent prayer for the Church, likening it to the plight of the widow who seeks justice, reminding us that God hears the cries of His elect who pray day and night. He reassures that prayer is effective and that we must trust in God's timing as we continue to seek His intervention. Ultimately, he calls for unwavering faith in the power of prayer to bring about God's will and restoration.

Charles E. Cowman, inspired by C. H. Spurgeon and Theodore L. Cuyler, emphasizes the importance of perseverance and importunity in prayer, comparing it to striking a flint to create a spark. He encourages believers to continue seeking God with faith and hope, trusting in His promises and timing for mercy. Cowman urges the congregation to never cease from petitioning God, even when His reply seems delayed, as a right prayer offered in a right spirit is never left unanswered in the history of God's kingdom.

George Fox preaches about gathering together the sufferings of those who have been unjustly treated by authorities, urging them to document their experiences and the names of those responsible for their suffering. He calls for the oppressed to deliver these accounts to judges for righteous judgment, emphasizing the importance of standing up for the innocent and helpless. Fox reminds the congregation that God, the ultimate just judge, will plead the cause of the oppressed and cast out unjust rulers who fail to uphold righteousness.
