  <itunes:subtitle>This episode of 2 Minute Disciple explores Matthew 7:7–11, where Jesus calls His followers to persistent, continuous prayer and grounds that call in the character of a perfectly good Father. Host Nick Oyler guides listeners through the contemplative devotional rhythm of slowing down, reading, meditating, and responding in prayer. The episode unpacks how God is not reluctant or withholding — He is a Father who wants to be asked, and who answers with perfect wisdom and extravagant love. The daily habit invites listeners to bring one unanswered prayer back to God as an act of renewed faith and persistent trust.</itunes:subtitle>
