Luke 18:1; Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not to lose heart,
Luke 18:2; saying, "In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not respect man.
Luke 18:3; "There was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, 'Give me legal protection from my opponent.'
Luke 18:4; "For a while he was unwilling; but afterward he said to himself, 'Even though I do not fear God nor respect man,
Luke 18:5; yet because this widow bothers me, I will give her legal protection, otherwise by continually coming she will wear me out.'"
Luke 18:6; And the Lord said, "Hear what the unrighteous judge *said;
Luke 18:7; now, will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them?
Luke 18:8; "I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?"
Of course we know God says vengeance is His and we shouldn't take matters into our own hands, but apparently it is OK to pray for justice.
(Rom 12:19; Heb 10:30
Part of this is simply being persistent in our prayers, such as Luke 11:5-10;
David often prayed for Justice against his enemies. Psa 5:8-10; Psa 35:4-7; and Psa 35:26; for example.
When people wrongly come against us legally or otherwise, is it OK to pray for justice against them? I think maybe we are even supposed to.
It seems God wants to give justice to His elect. But He also wants us to ask for it.
