Luke 11:5-13

We’re about midway through a series in the gospel of Luke, and today pastor John Randall will again urge us to be persistent in our prayer life. God has promised us some very wonderful things when we pray, but those wonderful things are contingent upon us approaching Him with the right attitude and the right way. We join pastor John in Luke eleven for the prospect of prayer, the promise attached to prayer and the power available through prayer.      

Today, we’ll continue pastor John Randall’s series in Luke, and the focus remains on our prayer lives.  Do you ever feel like your prayers are just bouncing off the ceiling, and you’re not seeing an answer as quickly as you had hoped?   As we’ll see today we’re not to get in the habit of praying about something once or twice, wait for an answer and then forget about it!  God wants us to be persistent in prayer.  As James puts it the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

The Christian prays with expectation. Trusting in God that when we ask for bread, He will not give us a stone. Still, there are things God wants us to have that we will never have if we do not ask.

Prayer is not just about ourselves. As Christians, we also intercede for others. Prayers for those we love, like, or cannot stand, we call out to God with both audacity and urgency, indifferent of time, or how long it takes.
