Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you went to your friend’s house at midnight and said to him, ‘Friend, loan me three loaves of bread. A friend of mine has come into town to visit me, but I have nothing for him to eat.’ Your friend inside the house answers, ‘Don’t bother me! The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything.’ I tell you, if friendship is not enough to make him get up to give you the bread, your boldness will make him get up and give you whatever you need. So I tell you, ask, and God will give to you. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will open for you. Yes, everyone who asks will receive. The one who searches will find. And everyone who knocks will have the door opened. If your children ask for a fish, which of you would give them a snake instead? Or, if your children ask for an egg, would you give them a scorpion? Even though you are bad, you know how to give good things to your children. How much more your heavenly Father will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

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.
