Keep Praying

Luke 11:5-13

5Then he said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and he goes to him at midnight and says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, 6because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him.'

7"Then the one inside answers, 'Don't bother me. The door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed. I can't get up and give you anything.' 8I tell you, though he will not get up and give him the bread because he is his friend, yet because of the man's boldness[a] he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

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. 10For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11"Which of you fathers, if your son asks for[b] a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"

Reflection of Bee:

Tonight's passage is so comforting.... "how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!" (v13). We need to ask for the right thing so that we will receive. The right thing and the most important thing we need is the Holy Spirit. When we have Him in our life, He will guide us to do and ask for the right thing.

I need to ask, seek and knock till my prayers are answered. God wants me to open my mouth and not just simply say He knows what I need.

Dear Lord,
Thank You for guiding me in my life. Even as I embarked into another new phase in my career, I pray that Your Holy Spirit will guide me to the path I should go, where You want me to be. Help me to be sensitive to Your Spirit's leading.
I pray also for my 'bf' that You will grant him peace and the serenity to trust You in his life and career. Grant Him Your peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
