Imagine, if someone goes to his friend’s house in the middle of the night to say to him: « Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him. »
What would happen?
If he is really his friend, he would absolutely get up.
And according to Jesus, « even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity he will surely get up and give you as much as you need. »(Luke 11: 8)
This means that it is important to know how to bother in order to get what you want.
Jesus also tells us:
« Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. »(Luke 11:9)
Since our only way of seeking God and knocking at his door is prayer, we must bother him by knocking, knock, knock until God opens and gives us everything we need.
PRAYER:
Our Father who art in heaven, grant us to know how to bother in prayer.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
