Trusting God When the World Feels Against Us - The Rev. Eric Zolner

When life feels unfair and God seems silent, don’t lose heart — He is still faithful, still listening, and still at work. In Luke 18:1–8, Jesus tells the story of a persistent widow and an unjust judge — a parable that challenges us to pray continually and trust that God will vindicate His people. In this sermon, Fr. Eric explores what it really means to “pray and not lose heart.” This isn’t about pestering God until He gives us what we want — it’s about learning to trust His righteousness even when the world seems unjust. Through a personal story about a cranky but dependable church organist, we see how faith grows when we trust God to do His part so we can focus on doing ours. In an anxious and divided world, we’re called to live faithfully — to reflect God’s justice, mercy, and love — knowing that He will set things right in His time. 📖 “Will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night?” (Luke 18:7) 🙏 Don’t give up. Keep praying. Trust that God is faithful — even when it feels like He’s silent. 🔑 Keywords: Luke 18:1–8, Parable of the Persistent Widow, unjust judge, faith and prayer, don’t lose heart, trusting God, Christian perseverance, Anglican sermon, prayer life, faith under pressure, Fr.
