1. How should Christ's comparison between sinful, earthly fathers and the heavenly Father shape our confidence in prayer? Does this passage emphasize God's reluctance or God's willingness to answer prayer?
2. Why does Jesus emphasize the gift of the Sprit rather than simply earthly blessings? Why is the gift of the Spirit the greatest gift of all?
3. What practical step can you take to grow in the habit of prayer?
