Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you

Luke 11:1-13
How to pray?
Father. hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day out daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.
Because of the man's boldness he will get up and give him as much as he needs.
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks fonds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
Matthew gives the longer form of the Lord's Prayer. Jesus is supplying both a prayer to be prayed and 'model' on which to base other prayers.
Jesus' followers come to God, not as subjects to 'the Master of the Universe' but as children to the best of fathers: simply, sharing his concerns and confidently telling him of their own needs. They must not be discouraged if time goes by and they see no answer. Persistence, in the end, wins over even the most reluctant friend - and there is no reluctance to answer on God's part.
Why?
Jesus tough us how to pray, 1) honor the Lord 2) our daily needs 3) erase our sins 4) not into temptation, overcome the trick.
Persistence pray at the time of the Lord, God will give us.
Pray in faith to the Lord will have answer from the Lord and beyond than we expected.
How?
Pray with faith in the Lord and Jesus Christ.
