Summary: Jesus's exhortation to pray concerns an issue of fundamental importance for the theology of the Gospel of Luke. The parable following the instruction on the Lord's Prayer calls the disciples to pray God with αναίδεια (Lk 11,8). This term describes the attitude held by the petitioner towards his friend and not by the friend who is being petitioned. It should be taken in its literal meaning as representing an audacious relationship to God. By this example, the disciples are encouraged to be confident that God the Father is always ready to hear His children
