The Unjust Judge

The word most frequently used to denote prayer is προσεύχομαι (proseuchomai) whose primary reference is to devotion! It expresses a God-ward look of dependence and communion. It is depending upon God to do what He says He is going to do (Ps. 42:1-2a). Secondly, in light of the promised difficulty that awaits us all, we must not “lose heart” in our pursuit of God! This is such an important addition to Christ’s exhortation here!
