response there is a space.
In that space is our power
to choose our response. In
our response lies our
growth and our freedom”

15. Luke 11:1-10
Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a
certain place, when He ceased, that one of His
disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as
John also taught his disciples.”
16. Luke 11:1-10
So He said to them, “When you pray, say:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
17. Luke 11:1-10
Give us day by day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins,
For we also forgive everyone who is indebted
to us.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.”
18. Luke 11:1-10
And He said to them, “Which of you shall have a
friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him,
‘Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine has
come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set
before him’; and he will answer from within and say,
‘Do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my
children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to
you’?
19. Luke 11:1-10
I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him
because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence
he will rise and give him as many as he needs.
“So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek,
and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to
you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who
seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
20. Luke 18:1-8
Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always
ought to pray and not lose heart, saying: “There was
in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor
regard man. Now there was a widow in that city; and
she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my
adversary.’ And he would not for a while; but
afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not
fear God nor regard man, yet because this widow
troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual
coming she weary me.’”
21. Luke 18:1-8
Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge
said. And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry
out day and night to Him, though He bears long with
them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily.
Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He
really find faith on the earth?”
22. I look at a stone cutter
hammering away at a rock a
hundred times without so much
as a crack showing in it. Yet at
the 101st blow it splits in two. I
know it was not the one blow
that did it, but all that had gone
before.
Jacob Riis
23. " Importunity is a condition of prayer.
We are to press the matter, not with
vain repetitions, but with urgent
repetitions. We repeat, not to count
the times, but to gain the prayer. We
cannot quit praying because heart and
soul are in it. We pray "with all
perseverance." We hang to our prayers
because by them we live. We press our
pleas because we must have them, or
die.”

27. Isa 62:6-7
On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen;
All day and all night they will never keep silent.
You who remind the LORD, take no rest for yourselves;
And give Him no rest until He establishes
And makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
28. Hosea 10:12
Sow with a view to righteousness,
Reap in accordance with kindness;
Break up your fallow ground,
For it is time to seek the LORD
Until He comes to rain righteousness on you.
