—Luke 11:5-13

Parents have a tendency to get upset when their children keep asking them for the same things over and over. Yet here Jesus commands us to keep asking God for our needs and wants. We don’t have to fear pestering God; we should ask and keep on asking until we get an answer, whether that be “yes,” “no,” or “wait.” God wants us to keep talking to him about our needs, wants, fears, triumphs—everything. Even when we have nothing new to add since the last time we prayed, he delights to hear from his children.
