The Persistence of Prayer
5 Day Devotional On “Is Prayer Necessary?”
Day 1: The Persistence of Prayer
Reading: Luke 11:5-13
Devotional: Jesus teaches us about the power of persistent prayer through the parable of the friend at midnight.

Remember, prayer isn't just about the outcome, but about the transformation that occurs within us as we continually seek God's presence. Take time to "ask, seek, and knock" today, trusting that your Heavenly Father is eager to give you good gifts.

Action Step: Choose one specific prayer request and commit to praying about it every day this week, progressing from simply asking to actively seeking God's will in the situation.

Reflection Questions:
- What stops you from being persistent in prayer? Is it doubt, discouragement, or feeling like you're bothering God?
- How has your relationship with God deepened through seasons of persistent prayer versus one-time requests?
- What area of your life currently needs the kind of "shameless boldness" described in this parable?
Action Step: Choose one specific prayer request and commit to praying about it every day this week, progressing from simply asking to actively seeking God's will in the situation.
