Persistence in Prayer
Luke 11:1-13
The last few years that I was living in California, I belonged to a group of ministers who met twice a month to do Bible study as we prepared for upcoming sermons. When this passage from Luke about prayer came up in the lectionary, one of my colleagues who serves as a hospice chaplain told us about a woman he had worked with a few months ago. He said that as they talked about her faith and prayer life, she had told him that she didn’t feel like God was listening to her prayers.
