Luke chapter 11 begins with Jesus' teaching about prayer. First He addresses the *content* of our prayers in the first four verses (covered in sermons the last two Sundays), then in v5-13 Jesus gives a series of strong encouragements for us to JUST DO IT -- to pray frequently, boldly, and with great confidence in the efficacy of our prayers:
1. Ask with bold persistence (v5-8).
2. Believe God’s great promises (v9-10).
3. Rest in the Father’s generosity (v11-13).
