Prayers of Persistence — Luke 11:1-13

In a culture that often treats prayer as a transaction, Jesus invites us into something deeper: persistent prayer as a way of life. Drawing from Luke 11, scripture reframes persistence not as wearing God down, but as remaining with a loving Father who eagerly gives the Holy Spirit to his children. Persistent prayer is less about controlling outcomes and more about growing in intimacy, surrender, and attentiveness to God’s presence. As we keep asking, seeking, and knocking, we are formed into people who know God, trust his goodness, and live attuned to the Spirit.
