Luke 11:1-9

1He was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”

2He said to them, “Whenever you pray, say, Father, your name be honored as holy. Your kingdom come.

3Give us each day our daily bread.

4And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone in debt to us. And do not bring us into temptation.”

5He also said to them, “Suppose one of you has a friend and goes to him at midnight and says to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I don’t have anything to offer him.’

7Then he will answer from inside and say, ‘Don’t bother me! The door is already locked, and my children and I have gone to bed. I can’t get up to give you anything.’

8I tell you, even though he won’t get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his friend’s shameless boldness, 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.
