The Squeaky Wheel May 7, 2015
The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
James 5:16 niv
The squeaky wheel gets the oil is a popular proverb. As a child I rode my bicycle for long distances between home and school, and the squeaky sounds of the wheels drew my attention to the need to lubricate them.
In Luke 18, the widows persistent request to the judge for justice against her adversary made her sound like a squeaky wheel until she got the result she needed. Luke explains that Jesus told this story to teach us the need to pray continually and not to give up, even if it appears that the answer to our prayer is delayed (vv.1-5).
God is certainly not an unjust judge who must be harassed before He responds to us. He is our loving Father who cares about us and hears us when we cry to Him. Regular, persistent prayer draws us closer to Him. It may feel like we are a squeaky wheel, but the Lord welcomes our prayer and encourages us to approach Him with our cries. He hears us and will come to our aid in ways that we may not expect.
As Jesus teaches in Matthew 6:5-8, constant prayer does not require long periods of vain repetitions. Rather, as we bring our needs before God day and night (Luke 18:7) and walk with the One who already knows our needs, we learn to trust God and wait patiently for His response.
For Further Study
To read more about prayer, check out the online booklet Why Doesn't God Answer Me at Discovery Series
Dont give upGod hears you when you pray!
: Parables have often been defined as earthly stories with heavenly meanings. Usually taken from the everyday things of life, they contain memorable truths encased in ordinary illustrations. One of the primary features of Lukes gospel is its emphasis on the teachings of Jesus through parables. Luke records 27 of Jesus parables, more than any other gospel account. These include the good Samaritan (ch. 10), the mustard seed (ch. 13), and the prodigal son (ch. 15). Matthew contains 22 parables, while Mark includes only 9. Interestingly, Johns gospel contains no parables at all.

When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength.
Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living.
If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself.

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; The rains fall soft upon your fields And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand. |

On This National Day Of Prayer
A Prayer for the Nation
Almighty God, Who has given us this good land for our heritage; We humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will. Bless our land with honorable ministry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way.
Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people, the multitude brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues.
Endow with Thy spirit of wisdom those whom in Thy name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that through obedience to Thy law, we may show forth Thy praise among the nations of the earth.
In time of prosperity fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in Thee to fail; all of which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Washington D.C., March 4, 1801 -Thomas Jefferson, as quoted in The Life and Selected Writings of Thomas JefferThomas Jeffersonson
NY: Random House, 1944), p.341
