#55: Parables of Jesus: Shameless Prayer (Luke 11:1-13)
In Luke 11, the disciples make a request of Jesus that we can all relate to: “Teach us to pray.”
To answer this question, Jesus teaches them some amazing lessons—using, in part, the parable of the friend at midnight—about why we should pray, how we should pray, and what we should expect when we pray.
Want to study the themes in this episode further? Here are a few passages and reflection questions to consider.
1. Consider Jesus’ model prayer in Luke 11:1-4. How do the requests in this prayer inform your prayer life? Do you pray regularly for God’s glory to be magnified, His will to be done, your needs (however basic) to be met, for cleansing from sin, and for deliverance from temptation and trials?
2. Think back to the last time you helped someone. What compelled you to do it? Now consider how God, our perfect heavenly Father, responds when you are in need. How does the parable of the friend at midnight encourage you?
3. How does knowing the way the Father answers prayer (by giving us what is best for us: Himself) help you in seasons of suffering and discouragement?
4. Do you pray shamelessly? Do you keep asking, keep seeking, and keep knocking? Why or why not? If not, how can you ask, seek, and knock this week?
5. Consider how you can “sue God” for the thing you’re praying about. Check your request against Scripture and consider: How has God promised to act? What does His Word promise you? Then, plead His promises and trust His heart.
6. Memorize 1 John 5:14 to hide its truth in your heart.
