ルカの福音書 11:11-13

God is sovereign, all powerful, and all knowing. At the same time, He commanded us to pray. Prayer is the means for us to access God’s provision for our life. Prayer is a privilege for every Christian to experience the wonderful will of God. Prayer is a relationship that sanctifies us to have the same heart as Jesus.

As parents, we want to get it right and become the best version of ourselves for our children. But the struggle is real, and we often feel like we’re falling short. In this four-day devotional, we’ll look at some spiritual disciplines that can help us bridge the gap between the parent we are and the parent God created us to be.

In this parable, Jesus teaches us that we should keep asking, searching, and knocking when we pray. He wants us to understand that if we're persistent in our prayers, just like the friend eventually helped, God will also respond to our persistent requests when we seek Him. Read and be blessed.

Prayer is simply how we communicate and commune with God. The practice of prayer is learning to set aside dedicated time to intentionally be with God in order to become like him and partner with him in the world. This plan, by Practicing the Way and John Mark Comer, helps us do just that, featuring key ideas and practical suggestions for us to connect with God in a deeper way.
