Title: A friend comes at midnight

Text verse: Luke 11: 9

So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

Bible reading: Luke 11: 5–10

Message:

Jesus is our advocate and teaches the right way to pray

Summary:

• Jesus teaches His disciples the proper way to pray.
• The man in need is distinguished by his insistence. It is powerful enough to convince his friend to help him.
• God does not need to be convinced to do good things for us or to turn His attention to those He has created.
• Jesus assures us that God does not heedlessly bypass our prayers, but rather hears them in His grace.
