William Burkitt's Notes:
Our Saviour here goes on to urge us to
importunity and constancy in prayer; he bids us ask, seek, and knock,
and assures us we shall be accepted, heard, and answered.
Here note,
1. That man is a poor indigent creature, full of wants, but unable to
supply them.
2. As man is an indigent and insufficient creature, so God is an
all-sufficient good, able to supply the wants, and to relieve the
necessities, of his creatures.
3. That Almighty God stands ready to supply all our wants, not temporal
only, but spiritual also, affording his grace, and the assistance of his
Holy Spirit, to them that ask it.
4. If therefore we want the grace of God, and the asistance of his Holy
Spirit, it is our own fault, and not God's; it is either for want of
seeking, or for want of earnestness in asking; for our Saviour expressly
assures us, that God denies it to none; but every one that asketh
receiveth.
-
Family Bible Notes:
Ask, and it shall be given; now comes the
application of the parable. Be importunate in asking, seeking, and
knocking at God's door, and you will be heard and answered. God often
delays answering prayer, that he may try the faith and earnestness of
the suppliant. 9-13. Asking of God in prayer.

People's New Testament Commentary:
Ask, and it shall be given. See notes
on Mt 7:7-11. These verses are a part of the Sermon on the Mount. It is
probable that Luke, who does not give a chronological history,
incorporates them here, though not the time when they were spoken. The
same may be said of various utterances given by Luke. Luke says instead
of good things (Mt 7:11), Luke says that the Father will give the Holy
Spirit [Lu 11:13], the best possible gift.

Spurgeon Devotional
Commentary:
Prayer is not a vain exercise; it is heard
and answered. Where it fails there is a reason for that failure. "Ye
have not because ye ask not, or because ye ask amiss."
-
Adam Clarke's Commentary: Be
importunate with God, not so much to prevail on him to save you, as to
get yourselves brought into a proper disposition to receive that mercy
which he is ever disposed to give. He who is not importunate for the
salvation of his soul does not feel the need of being saved; and were
God to communicate his mercy to such they could not be expected to be
grateful for it, as favours are only prized and esteemed in proportion
to the sense men have of their necessity and importance. See this
subject explained Mt 7:7,8.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary:
No comment on this verse.
Quotes on Luke 11:1-13
- The Lord's Prayer "is truly the summary of the whole gospel."
- Tertullian, as quoted in
Catechism
of the Catholic Church, ¶2761
- The Holy Spirit -- The best of gifts, and that which includes every good
gift.
- John Wesley,
Notes
Upon the New Testament, Vol. 1, on Luke 11:13
- The parable teaches its lesson by contrasting the reluctance of the selfish
friend who has to be roused by importunate asking with the willingness
of the bountiful God.
- J. McNicol,
New
Bible Commentary (1954): Luke, p. 853
- We must not only ask, but we must seek, in the use of means,
must second our prayers with our endeavours; and, in asking
and seeking, we must continue pressing, still knocking at
the same door, and we shall at length prevail, not only by our prayers
in concert, but by our particular prayers: Every one that asketh
receiveth, even the meanest saint that asks in faith.
- Matthew Henry,
Commentary,
Vol. 5, p. 694
- [Luke] suggests that God's gifts are of a higher category.
- William Baird,
Interpreter's
One-Volume Commentary: Luke, p. 689
- This man did ask, seek, and knock. It was opened, granted, and obtained
by him according to the promise.
- D.D. Whedon,
Commentary
on the Gospels, Vol. Luke-John, p. 118
- The meaning of each of Jesus' petitions is formed by his proclamation of
the kingdom of God, not as a purely future hope, but as a reality already
proleptically
present in his own person.
- Reginald H. Fuller,
Preaching
the Lectionary, p. 491
- The Jewish masters used to give their followers some short form of prayer,
as a peculiar badge of their relation to them. This it is probable
John the Baptist had done. And in this sense it seems to be, that
the disciples now asked Jesus to teach them to pray.
- John Wesley,
Notes
Upon the New Testament, Vol. 1, on Luke 11:1
- Calling God "Abba" [illustrates] the unique filial consciousness of Jesus,
which is the foundation of his own life of obedience and of the Church's
later Christological interpretation of his person.
- Reginald H. Fuller,
Preaching
the Lectionary, p. 490
- Some modern devotional writers are squeamish about petitionary prayer,
but in Jesus' teaching petition is prayer par excellence.
- Reginald H. Fuller,
Preaching
the Lectionary, p. 491
- Christian prayer goes back to the example and precept of Jesus Himself.
His own prayer was the occasion for the disciples to ask Him how to pray.
He replied with the Lord's Prayer...
- I.H. Marshall,
New
Bible Commentary, Revised (1970): Luke, p. 906
- This evangelist [Luke] has taken particular notice of Christ's praying
often, more than any other of the evangelists.
- Matthew Henry,
Commentary,
Vol. 5, p. 692
- Lord, teach us to pray, is itself a good prayer, and a very needful
one, for it is a hard thing to pray well; and it is Jesus
Christ only that can teach us, by his word and Spirit, how to
pray.
- Matthew Henry,
Commentary,
Vol. 5, p. 694
- In all of his life Jesus presents himself as our model.
- Ratzinger, Joseph, Imp.,
Catechism
of the Catholic Church, ¶520
- By contemplating and hearing the Son, the master of prayer, the children
learn to pray to the Father.
- Ratzinger, Joseph, Imp.,
Catechism
of the Catholic Church, ¶2601
- Run through all the words of the holy prayers [in Scripture], and I do
not think that you will find anything in them that is not contained and
included in the Lord's Prayer.
- St. Augustine, as quoted in
Catechism
of the Catholic Church, ¶2762
- The Lord's Prayer is the most perfect of prayers... In it we ask, not only
for all the things we can rightly desire, but also in the sequence that
they should be desired. This prayer not only teaches us to ask for
things, but also in what order we should desire them.
- St. Thomas Aquinas, as quoted
in
Catechism
of the Catholic Church, ¶2763
- One may sit at the Lord's feet through prayer.
- William Baird,
Interpreter's
One-Volume Commentary: Luke, p. 689
- Teach us the body of blessings we may hope to receive, and therefore what
object is right, and not presumptuous to ask; teach us, even by an
outline pattern if thou wilt, a skeleton prayer, of which all other prayers
are but the amplification.
- D.D. Whedon,
Commentary
on the Gospels, Vol. Luke-John, p. 117
- Each new dispensation may not only have its new unfolding of truths;
but its new revelations may open new modes of access, and new topics of
prayer, and motives and tempers of worship. A different prayer was
offered in the Mosaic ritual from the patriarchal form. John opened
up a new scope of prayer; and this new dispensation requires of Jesus
to set the range of prayer in accordance with the new range of truth, and
the new position of men with God.
- D.D. Whedon,
Commentary
on the Gospels, Vol. Luke-John, p. 117
