Jesus explains prayer with reverent focus on the Father, daily provision, forgiveness, and protection from temptation. The lesson is reinforced through a midnight friend who persistently asks for bread and receives help despite the door being shut. The narrative emphasizes asking, seeking, and knocking with confident expectation.","The Friend At Night  \nA Bible story based on Luke 11:1-10  \nEnglish Bible  \nThe Friend At Night  \nA Bible story based on Luke 11:1-10 .

When he stopped, one of his disciples said to him,“Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples .”  \nSo he said to them,“When you pray, say: Father, may your name be honoured; may your kingdom come . Give us each day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us . And do not lead us into temptation .”  \nSuppose one of you has a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say to him,“Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, because a friend of mine has stopped here while on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him .”  \nThen he will reply from inside,“Do not bother me . The door is already shut, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything.”  \nI tell you, even though the man inside will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of the first man’s sheer persistence he will get up and give him whatever he needs .  \nSo I tell you:  \nAsk, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find  \nknock, and the door will be opened for you .  \nFor everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.","cbCaippVK2jAh4PW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaippVK2jAh4PW","pdf",5999139,3,1,12,"English","en",105,"# Prayer taught by Jesus\n## The friend at midnight\n## Asking, seeking, and knocking","[{\"question\":\"What passage is this story based on?\",\"answer\":\"The story is based on Luke 11:1-10.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Jesus teach about prayer?\",\"answer\":\"Jesus teaches the disciples to pray with reverence for the Father’s name, the coming kingdom, daily bread, forgiveness of sins, and asking not to be led into temptation.\"},{\"question\":\"What message does the midnight friend story emphasize?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights persistent asking: even when refused at first, the friend will respond because of determination, and God will open the door to those who ask, seek, and knock.\"}]",1784311520,30,{"code":4,"msg":31,"data":32},"ok",{"site_id":25,"language":24,"slug":33,"title":13,"keywords":34,"description":14,"schema_data":35,"social_meta":86,"head_meta":88,"extra_data":90,"updated_unix":28},"the-friend-at-night-a-bible-story-based-on-luke-111-10","",{"@graph":36,"@context":85},[37,53,68],{"@type":38,"itemListElement":39},"BreadcrumbList",[40,44,48,50],{"item":41,"name":42,"@type":43,"position":21},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":45,"name":46,"@type":43,"position":47},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":49,"name":12,"@type":43,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/religion-spirituality/",{"item":51,"name":13,"@type":43,"position":52},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-friend-at-night-a-bible-story-based-on-luke-111-10/92073/",4,{"url":51,"name":13,"@type":54,"author":55,"headline":13,"publisher":57,"fileFormat":60,"inLanguage":24,"description":14,"dateModified":61,"datePublished":62,"encodingFormat":60,"isAccessibleForFree":63,"interactionStatistic":64},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":56},"Person",{"url":41,"name":58,"@type":59},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-30","2026-07-17",true,{"@type":65,"interactionType":66,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":67},"ViewAction",{"@type":69,"mainEntity":70},"FAQPage",[71,77,81],{"name":72,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":74},"What passage is this story based on?","Question",{"text":75,"@type":76},"The story is based on Luke 11:1-10.","Answer",{"name":78,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":79},"What does Jesus teach about prayer?",{"text":80,"@type":76},"Jesus teaches the disciples to pray with reverence for the Father’s name, the coming kingdom, daily bread, forgiveness of sins, and asking not to be led into temptation.",{"name":82,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":83},"What message does the midnight friend story emphasize?",{"text":84,"@type":76},"It highlights persistent asking: even when refused at first, the friend will respond because of determination, and God will open the door to those who ask, seek, and knock.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":51,"og:type":87,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":58,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":89,"canonical":51},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":25},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":92},[93,97,101,105,110,115,120,124,127,130,134],{"id":21,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":94,"show_sort_weight":95,"slug":96},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":47,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":98,"show_sort_weight":99,"slug":100},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":52,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":102,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":104},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":106,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":107,"show_sort_weight":108,"slug":109},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":111,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":112,"show_sort_weight":113,"slug":114},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":116,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":117,"show_sort_weight":118,"slug":119},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":121,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":122,"show_sort_weight":29,"slug":123},8,"Research & Report","research-report",{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":126},20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":125,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":129},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":131,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":132,"show_sort_weight":131,"slug":133},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":135,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":137},19,"General","general"]
