A Mandate for Persistent Prayer
Commentators unanimously see this verse as a command for believers to engage in relentless, unceasing prayer. The phrase 'give him no rest' is a divine instruction to be importunate. Scholars note that God is not displeased by this persistence; rather, He invites it, and a spirit of prayer is often a sign of His coming mercy.
