Passage: Luke 11:1-13
In Luke 11:1-13, Jesus' disciples ask him to teach them how to pray. Jesus responds by teaching them the Lord's Prayer, not simply as a script to pray, but as a model that shapes their attitude and posture in prayer. He then builds on that teaching through the parable of the Friend at Midnight, helping his disciples understand who they are praying to: a heavenly Father who loves them, cares for them, and invites them to come to him with their needs. This parable challenges us to consider: What is our attitude and posture when we pray? Will God respond to our prayers? And what does Jesus reveal about the heart of our heavenly Father?
