The bible tells us a story in luke18:1-8 about a particular judge who was unjust in his judgements may be he was know to be very partial and inconsiderate especially to people of low social status this man's live could be pathetic but there is a lot to learn from his actions.

THE PERSISTENT WIDOW

let's go through the scriptures together

Luke 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

18:2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 18:3

And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

18:4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

18:5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

18:6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

18:7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?(KJV)

You see our God is merciful he will always answer answer the persistent prayer of a righteous man. This widow understood the power of persistency and its benefits
