Luke 11
Jesus’ Teaching on Prayer
The people ask Jesus to teach them how to pray. He tells them a prayer and then explains to them that God will always provide.
9 “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
He then speaks about why would God give you something you do not need. If we fathers on earth can give even when we are in sin imagine what God can do!!!
11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for[f] a fish, will give him a snake instead?

where there is no water.

8 But about the Son he says,
“Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever;

therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions
by anointing you with the oil of joy.”[e
