Don\u2019t Be Discouraged; Continue Praying Luke 18: 1-8
\nMay the Grace and Peace of Jesus Christ be richly poured into this sanctuary!
\nWhile I was in training for clinical pastoral care at a hospital, I was visiting patient\u2019s rooms one by one where most of them were cancer patients. As I was entering a patient\u2019s room, saying I am a chaplain, that patient\u2019s daughter stopped me and brought me outside of the room.
\nAccording to her, my presence was ill-omened for her mother. In other words, her family thought that religious people\u2019s primary function is to prepare for funerals and officiate burial services after patients died. Therefore, she did not want me to come into the room.
\nMy belief in Jesus Christ is that no matter how patients died physically, God gives people eternal life with Christ in heaven and because of this there is hope. Therefore, I wanted to explain that my presence is for the hope of one\u2019s eternal life, living with God, and is not only for dealing with issues after physical death.
\nHowever, the hospital is a public place and chaplains serve not only Christians but people of other faiths as well. People have different perspectives on religion and chaplains must be mindful of that fact. Therefore, I did not defend myself to her and I just said, \u201cI understand, if she does not want me to come in, that is fine. She is in my prayers.\u201d And I excused myself to the next room. <\/p>\n

I think, today\u2019s parable is unique. Jesus is telling his disciples a very strange story in order to teach them the need to pray always and not to be discouraged.
\nIn the parable, there is a widow and a judge. The judge neither feared God nor cared about people, but the widow kept coming to him and asked \u201cGrant me justice in this dispute with my opponent.\u201d
\nAs a result of the widow\u2019s relentlessness, the judge changed his mind, favored her, and granted her petition. When I think about the relationship between the unjust judge and the widow, that is the relationship between the Lord and his disciples.
\nJesus shared astounding parables which allowed him to highlight and teach important concepts. Today\u2019s parable is one of those examples. Another famous one is about the dishonest manager that God praises. Sometimes these parables are confusing but they\u2019re always memorable. In today\u2019s story, I think that, because Jesus wanted to teach about the importance of regular prayer, Jesus used a strange parable to make his point and make the lesson unforgettable.
\nIf people met an unjust judge, a petitioner might be discouraged and give up. However, in this story, even though the judge was uncaring and would not grant the widow\u2019s petition, the widow was persistent and kept asking the judge for justice.
\nIn this parable, the widow represents the disciples and the unjust judge represents our Lord, God, again this is an astounding representation. The point Jesus wanted to teach disciples is that even though you might feel that the Lord does not listen to you, you should not be discouraged and continue praying. Like the widow you should be relentless in your faith.
\nOn 9\/11, there were two policemen under a tremendous heap of rubble. Some of you might have seen the movie, World Trade Center\u2026they could not move their bodies and were in a seemingly hopeless situation.
\nHowever, they could talk to each other and they prayed the Lord\u2019s Prayer. As a result, on the next day, September 12th, a rescue team found them and they survived their ordeal. In our lives, we may also experience a seemingly hopeless situation, not necessarily physically taxing but perhaps it\u2019s mentally, emotionally, or spiritually taxing, but it is so important to have hope in Christ and to have relationship with God through prayers even in the midst of difficult situations.
\nFollowing the conversation I had with that patient\u2019s daughter that I mentioned in the beginning of this message, this is what happened on the next day. I was going to pass by that room, however, the daughter found me and spoke to me.
\nShe said, \u201cPlease come in and meet with my mother. For some reason she wanted to meet with you.\u201d On the previous day, I left her mother\u2019s room saying, \u201cShe is in my prayers.\u201d And I prayed for her to myself. To be honest, I did not expect that I would be asked to come back into her room.
\nHowever, God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit worked on the patient\u2019s and her daughter\u2019s hearts and their mind\u2019s were changed. The patient was very glad to see me and together with her daughter, I prayed for hope in His Holy Name even in the midst of a particularly difficult chemo treatment. I am sure that no matter what happened in her physical life, she would live with the Holy One.
\nEach one of us through continuous prayer can keep a strong the relationship with our Lord, Jesus Christ, our Savior. Even when all seems hopeless, be like the persistent widow\u2026God hears you. Thanks be to God! Amen. <\/p>\n

While I was in training for clinical pastoral care at a hospital, I was visiting patient\u2019s rooms one by one where most of them were cancer patients. As I was entering a patient\u2019s room, saying I am a chaplain, that patient\u2019s daughter stopped me and brought me outside of the room.

Therefore, she did not want me to come into the room.

Therefore, I wanted to explain that my presence is for the hope of one\u2019s eternal life, living with God, and is not only for dealing with issues after physical death. However, the hospital is a public place and chaplains serve not only Christians but people of other faiths as well. People have different perspectives on religion and chaplains must be mindful of that fact. Therefore, I did not defend myself to her and I just said, \u201cI understand, if she does not want me to come in, that is fine….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3672","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-9"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3672"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3672\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3673,"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3672\/revisions\/3673"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3672"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
