Read the Story

When Jesus finished praying, a disciple asked Him to teach them to pray. Jesus taught them to call God Father. They should ask that His name be honored and His Kingdom come. They should ask for daily bread, for forgiveness, and for help not to be led into temptation.

Jesus told a story. A man knocked on his friend's door at midnight to borrow bread. Because he kept asking, his friend got up and gave him what he needed. Jesus said to keep asking, seeking and knocking. A father would not give his son a snake instead of a fish. So the heavenly Father will surely give the Holy Spirit to those who ask!

A woman called out that Jesus' mother was blessed. Jesus said those who hear God's word and keep it are blessed even more.

Memory Verse

“I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.

Luke 11:9 (WEB)
