The widow who is really in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day to pray and to ask God for help.

A widow who really needs help and is left all alone puts her hope in God. Night and day she keeps on praying. Night and day she asks God for help.

She who is truly a widow, left all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day,

The widow who is truly in need and left all alone has put her hope in God and continues night and day in her petitions and prayers;

Now she who is actually a widow and has been left alone has set her hope on God, and she continues in requests and prayers night and day.

Now she who is really a widow, and left alone, trusts in God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.

Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, hath her hope set on God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.

But the widow who is truly in need, and completely on her own, has set her hope on God and continues in her pleas and prayers night and day.

Now she who is a widow indeed and desolate, has her hope set on God, and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.

Then she lived as a widow to the age of eighty four. She never left the Temple but stayed there day and night, worshiping God with fasting and prayer.

Take care of any widow who has no one else to care for her.

I want you to be free from the concerns of this life. An unmarried man can spend his time doing the Lord’s work and thinking how to please him.

This is how the holy women of old made themselves beautiful. They put their trust in God and accepted the authority of their husbands.

If a woman who is a believer has relatives who are widows, she must take care of them and not put the responsibility on the church. Then the church can care for the widows who are truly alone.

One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up.

Who among you fears the Lord and obeys his servant? If you are walking in darkness, without a ray of light, trust in the Lord and rely on your God.

Then you will think to yourself,‘ Who has given me all these descendants? For most of my children were killed, and the rest were carried away into exile. I was left here all alone. Where did all these people come from? Who bore these children? Who raised them for me?’”

See, God has come to save me. I will trust in him and not be afraid. The Lord God is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.”

“ He has sent fire from heaven that burns in my bones. He has placed a trap in my path and turned me back. He has left me devastated, racked with sickness all day long.

The gates of Zion will weep and mourn. The city will be like a ravaged woman, huddled on the ground.

Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So don’t you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?

“ Sing, O childless woman, you who have never given birth! Break into loud and joyful song, O Jerusalem, you who have never been in labor. For the desolate woman now has more children than the woman who lives with her husband,” says the Lord.

Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.

In fact, that is why the twelve tribes of Israel zealously worship God night and day, and they share the same hope I have. Yet, Your Majesty, they accuse me for having this hope!

He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.

May the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge, reward you fully for what you have done.”

His interests are divided. In the same way, a woman who is no longer married or has never been married can be devoted to the Lord and holy in body and in spirit. But a married woman has to think about her earthly responsibilities and how to please her husband.

When we get together, I want to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours.

For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities— his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused.

Through Christ, God has given us the privilege and authority as apostles to tell Gentiles everywhere what God has done for them, so that they will believe and obey him, bringing glory to his name.
