who's that knocking on my door?

Friday July 30th, Luke 11: 5 Then 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, 6 because 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.' 8 I 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 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. 10 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. It sounds like we are being told to be obnoxious before God. I believe the point is to be persistent. Make life a process of being aware of the connection with God. Make your life a process of keeping up your end of the communication. Don’t stop talking to God. Pray unceasingly. In the process of always being in the moment with God, always being present with God, we will not necessarily remain pure, but we will remain honest before God. Even our failings are paths to God’s grace and renewal. Remember that everything you think, do and say “Is” a prayer. You simply have to ask yourself the question, “is this a prayer I want to be praying right now?” If not, help me dear Lord to live into a new prayer that comes from Your heart. Amen.
