Pattern for Prayer (Luke 11:1–4)
Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” And he said to them, “When you pray, say:
“Father, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread,
and forgive us our sins,
for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation.”

Unexpected Visitor (Luke 11:5–13)
Pray boldly because God is a good father.
Ask for the Holy Spirit, the power of the kingdom.

Unjust Judge & Persistent Widow (Luke 18:1–8)
Pray persistently because God will give justice.
Ask for justice, the coming of the kingdom.

Pharisee & Tax Collector (Luke 18: 9–14)
Pray humbly because only Jesus’s righteousness can justify.
Ask for mercy, entrance into the kingdom.

How to Receive the Kingdom (Luke 18:16–17)
But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.”
