#173 Keep Knocking

In Luke 11:5–13, Jesus teaches persistence in prayer with the parable of the friend at midnight. Unlike a reluctant neighbor, God is a loving Father who delights to give us the Holy Spirit. Learn the historical context of hospitality in Jesus’ time, the meaning of persistence, and how to trust God’s generosity today. Includes journal prompts for prayer and reflection. After listening, use these prompts for further reflection: Do I approach God with persistence in prayer, or do I give up quickly?How do I view God—as reluctant, or as a generous Father?What “stones” or “snakes” am I afraid God might give me?Where do I need to trust that God’s gift of the Holy Spirit is enough?What’s one area of life where I can keep knocking in faith this week?#Catholic #Luke11 #Prayer
