—Luke 11:1-13
by: Ashea West.
The disciples wanted to learn how to communicate with the ruler of the Kingdom (God), so they asked Jesus to teach them how to pray. He laid out the format and then went on to tell them the attitude they should have towards prayer—boldness and persistentence. He concluded by saying that our Heavenly Father knows how to give good gifts better than any earthly father can. Luke pointed out that this gift is the Holy Spirit; and we know that the Holy Spirit is the one that intercedes on our behalf and helps us to do God’s will. Therefore, we should not be afraid to go boldly to God and make requests, because He only knows how to give good gifts.
