Jesus presents three metaphors about prayer: asking, seeking, and knocking. The first word ("asking," Greek: aiteite) means to pray with a feeling of dependence. It is used by the person who comes empty-handed and says, "I have nothing to buy." Jesus never prayed like that, that is, as someone very poor. But this is how we should ask the Father, as someone destitute and in need of everything. The second word ("seeking," Greek: zêteite) contains the idea of care or concern and characterizes anxious anxiety, that is, we should pray under the urgency of a great desire or expectation.

It is the best expression of the popular saying that says: "Faith in God and get to work. These are the three basic rules of correct and effective prayer: persistence. We should never expect to be answered immediately at the first of our requests. Jesus told us to be insistent
