He told his servant, "Go on up and look in the direction of the sea." So he went on up, looked, and reported, "There is nothing." Seven times Elijah sent him to look.

Then the man said, "Let me go, for the dawn is breaking." "I will not let you go," Jacob replied, "unless you bless me."

Lord, in the morning you will hear me; in the morning I will present my case to you and then wait expectantly for an answer.

For the message is a witness to what is decreed; it gives reliable testimony about how matters will turn out. Even if the message is not fulfilled right away, wait patiently; for it will certainly come to pass -- it will not arrive late.

Then Jesus told them a parable to show them they should always pray and not lose heart.

Won't God give justice to his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he delay long to help them?

With every prayer and petition, pray at all times in the Spirit, and to this end be alert, with all perseverance and requests for all the saints.

For you need endurance in order to do God's will and so receive what is promised.
