Evening: Psalm 42, 43; Ezra 4:7, 11-24; Luke 11:1-13
A disciple asks Jesus to teach them all to pray. Jesus gives a simple, rich prayer to help them become channels of love. It is an unusual image for us … God as a sleepy father disturbed by a daughter or son he loves, or even by a stranger, in the middle of the night. God is not only like a sleepy friend, of course. But you can knock persistently and boldly anyway … insist on asking for what you need if you are to live well and serve the vision of God’s Kingdom on earth.
