Bernie DakeKeep Asking, Seeking, and Knocking: The Parables of Jesus
October 21, 2026 ● 14 minShare this episode
What can an annoying, persistent friend teach us about prayer? In this episode of our series on the parables of Jesus, Major Cam Henderson explores Jesus’ surprising story of a friend who comes knocking at midnight asking for bread.
Through this humorous and unexpected parable, Jesus teaches His disciples to pray with confidence, persistence, and trust. But the lesson goes beyond simply getting what we ask for. Jesus reminds us that God is not reluctant to hear us. He is our loving Father who knows what we truly need and delights in giving good gifts to His children.
Join Major Cam Henderson as we explore Luke 11, the Parable of the Persistent Friend, and Jesus’ invitation to keep asking, keep seeking, and keep knocking.

Nothing is hidden from His sight because He knows all things; He knows hearts and our deepest needs, but when we share our burdens and cares with Him, we are reminding our soul of the goodness and faithfulness of our Heavenly Father.
