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
You can’t bother a divine God who is
not pressured by time and space. People
“bug” us because they take up our time.
God has unlimited, eternal time.
He’s omnipresent and can multi-task so you aren’t slowing him down. Even our consistent content doesn’t bother
him, as long as it’s not a selfish request but one that coincides with his
will.
