Last we talked about how to love praying.  We know It is a fight to remember to pray and keep praying, but persistence is worth it.

Jesus Often Spoke of Persistence in Prayer.

In Luke 11 we find a review of the Lord’s prayer or the “model prayer”. Then, Jesus teaches the disciples to pray with persistence using the Parable of the Friend in Need (Persistent Neighbor).  At midnight, a man asks his neighbor for bread to feed a friend. But It’s midnight, and friendship (while great) only goes so far. Jesus said friendship will probably not be enough. But, shameless persistence will get you what you need. Especially considering that Father’s intentions toward you are far greater than friendship.
