How often does our daily prayer consist of a list of requests? We always seem to be asking God for something, and rightly so, for he is the supplier of all needs, the giver of all gifts, and likes to be asked, especially when we do so in faith. "The Lord is good to those who hope in him,/ to the soul that seeks him." (Lam 3:25). Hence, today's word of Jesus about the man begging his friend for bread at midnight, his persistence, and final compliance with his request. "Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened." (Lk 11: 9-10). Jesus reminds us that we are not dealing with a Scrooge, but with a loving Father. Let us believe and not hesitate to ask, nor be disappointed when the inevitable answer comes not at the time or in the way we'd like it.
