In Luke 11:5-13, Jesus teaches that we should be persistent and consistent in our prayers for God’s transforming grace. Not that He wants the Father to give us a difficult time and would like Him to lengthen our agony of waiting for His blessings but because our prayers most often would like to change God and let Him be aligned with our ideas and plans. Most often we cannot accept God’s light. We are blind to God’s ways because they are not always easy and pleasant to what we are so accustomed to. Our prayers will never change God. Prayers will only modify our hearts and such transformation is not normally instant. To arrive at an interior acceptance of God’s will and see our life with His eyes, we need to be persistent and consistent with our prayers. We need to pray to God for a longer time. Our regular and consistent fellowship with God can only bear us the right amount of fruit we need to subsist and sustain our spiritual walk. Because of our relationship and the rapport we have with Him, God will never fail us and He will give us as much as what we need. He will bless us all the days of our lives. “So I say to you, ‘Ask and you shall receive; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you.’ “For whoever asks, receives; whoever seeks, finds; whoever knocks, is admitted.”
Shalom!
