Persistence: The Key To Our Dreams
October 17 Gospel 
The passage: “I tell you, he will see to it that justice is done for them speedily.
But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” struck me the most because it shows us the typical people who pray and pray but does not do their part, or only pray because they need God during that time. It is sad to know that there are those kinds of people nowadays, and it seems unfair for God, who is all loving and kind to everyone, that we abuse His love for us. I think that this passage should be able to reach out to those kinds of people. God will always answer our prayers, although not quickly or directly, God knows what’s best for us. 
In relation to the gospel, the challenge for me is having the persistence and patience in praying. Like the widow who was persistent on the judge to get what she wants, I should harness the same persistence that she has for what I believe would be best for me. Prayer was and is a vital tool for a college entrance exam taker like me. Prayer is what kept me confident when I took the dlsucet. Throughout the examination, I felt God’s guidance through my success in remembering most of the things I reviewed. When the time comes though that my prayers aren’t answered. I should keep in mind to not blame and rant to God for not answering the, for there will come a time when they will be answered. I know that God has a plan for me. 
The gospel basically teaches the value of persistence. Through persistence, a lot of things can be achieved. Struggling through every problem that come my way, in the end of it, there will always be that sigh of relief that would relieve me from what I have just come through. Persistence is what all of us should possess. In life, if we are persistent, nothing can prevent us from achieving our dreams.
