When You Pray...

Sunday 1.16.11 When you pray… Luke 11:1-13 Apathy where prayer is concerned. In this parable Jesus tells a funny story. The lesson is to approach prayer with persistence, even in the face of resistance. Note especially the structure of verse 9 (present tense/future tense). The apathy of the church in our instant gratification culture… stands to undermine the spiritual value of persistent prayer and longing. In other words: I tried that and came away disappointed.
