(Luke 11:9-10) a. BECAUSE waiting seems to get us on target. 4. That prayer is not an overcoming of God’s reluctance but laying hold of His highest willingness. a. PROOF – “The door will be opened to you”; “And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him?”; “How much more will your heavenly Father know how to give you the very best of gifts.”
