Summary

How do we pray when regular maintenance isn’t enough? In Shameless Part 1, Beth invites us into a deeper understanding of what it means to pray with shameless boldness: bold in our asking, persistent in our pursuit, and confident in the One we’re speaking to.

Prayer is not just about what we’re hoping to get from God, it’s about who we’re growing into with Him. Through repetition, persistence, and honesty, we are shaped. Because the goal is not to pray perfectly, but to keep praying.

In this message, Beth explores:

- What bold, shameless prayer really looks like

- Why God uses prayer to grow us, not just answer us

- How persistence in prayer is less about repetition and more about accumulation

- What it means to take responsibility in prayer and not give up

Scriptures: Luke 11:1-13, Luke 18:1, Hebrews 4:14-16, Psalm 119:26

0:00.0	I can't wait to get into this subject matter with you.
0:08.1	I want you to go ahead and turn with me to Luke chapter 11 and hold tight for a moment.
0:14.8	And I want to tell you a little bit about building up to this particular subject matter.
0:19.7	One of the things that I always do, one of the last things
0:23.3	I do before I start getting ready to come and teach is that I lay out my notes in front of the
0:29.0	Lord. Now, I'm not sure why I do this, but it is just a practice that I have. It's kind of like
0:33.7	Hezekiah's letters, only totally different because it's not from somebody else that sent them to me. It's my own notes. I don't know why I do it. I can't reason it with you. But I lay it out in front of him, and I tell him the same thing over and over. It's nothing if you do not fill it with your Holy Spirit. Nothing. I mean, it's just like, it's just points. There's nothing to it. And I was telling him today, because I've been so excited about where I felt that he was bringing us. And then I looked at the notes today and I thought, Lord, this may not be the most exciting lesson anyone has ever heard. And so I... But here is what I know.
1:12.4	It is life-changing if we believe it.
1:16.4	So anybody understand what I'm saying?
1:18.4	No, the release I had on me to know,
1:21.7	it doesn't have to be riveting.
1:24.2	It has to be true.
1:26.1	But if the Holy Spirit will come and do the riveting for us if something happens
1:32.0	where somehow the words from the scripture all the sudden resonate with you to such a degree that
1:39.6	you think i believe this is the life i want to lead that That's what we're after. That's what we're after.
1:47.8	Turn with me to Luke chapter 11. I'm going to read verses 1 through 13. I want to tell you something
1:56.2	marvelous about the gospel of Luke. I love all four of the Gospels, and I love all four of them for
2:02.6	different reasons. They all have a uniqueness that they bring to the canon of Scripture,
2:07.6	and this is certainly no exception. So we've got a book that is written by Luke, the beloved
2:14.6	physician, who also wrote Acts. Part of its distinguishing feature is that it's the only one with a sequel,
2:21.2	and it's very much believed by scholars to have been known from the first words of Luke
2:26.9	that there would also be what we would call Axe, that from the very beginning,
