Praying in the Gap

In this message, Peter begins by asking a common question: how many times should we pray before God answers? Drawing from Luke 11, he challenges Christian fatalism and shows that Jesus invites persistent, shameless prayer rooted in relationship—not formulas or manipulation. Using the images of friend-to-friend and father-to-child, he explains that the nature of our relationship with God shapes both what we ask for and how we ask. Persistent prayer, he concludes, is about deepening our desire and dependency on a good Father who delights to give what is truly good.
