Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.’ And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’ I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity he will surely get up and give you as much as you need. Luke 11:5-8 NIV

So, what is Jesus trying to say here. I believe He is saying to humbly ask God to provide for you that which you need. Do so with boldness, courage, and bravery. We have a loving God who does meet our needs, but He does want us to ask for that which we need. He already knows that which we need, but He loves to hear us ask, knowing that He will provide that which we need. Do not fear in asking God for that which you truly need. He shall provide for you!
