We Can Have Confidence

Luke 11:5–8 says, “Then Jesus said to them, ‘Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, “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.” And suppose the one inside answers, “Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.” I tell you, 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.’” If ever there was a time to ask for God's provision, it's now. Let's ask God to give us compassion, conviction, courage, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Just as the persistent friend received what he needed, we can have confidence that when we call out a knock on the door of Heaven, God will answer our prayers.
It's time to pray.
