Jesus gives another illustration of prayer in Luke 11:5-12. Similar to the parable of the unjust judge, Jesus’ message in this passage is that if a man will inconvenience himself to provide for a needy friend, God will provide for our needs far more, since no request is an inconvenience to Him. Here again, the promise is not that we will receive whatever we ask if we just keep asking. God’s promise to His children is a promise to meet our needs, not our wants.
Yesu anautoa mfano mwingine wa maombi katika Luka 11: 5-12. Ulio sawa na mfano wa hakimu asiye haki, ujumbe wa Yesu katika ufahamu huu ni kwamba ikiwa mtu atajinyima ili awapatie marafiki walio na mahitaji, Mungu atatutimizia mahitaji yetu, kwa vile hakuna hitaji ambalo ni sumbuvu kwa Mungu. Hapa tena ahadi sio kwamba atapokea chochote tutakachoendelea kuuliza.
