"I tell you, even though he won’t get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his friend’s shameless boldness, he will get up and give him as much as he needs." Luke 11:8 CSB The NIV uses the words "shameless audacity".
The Lord is describing the type of prayer that moves mountains. This prayer is being offered for the comfort of another, because the "asker" realizes he does not have what it takes to provide for his guest. He goes to the one he knows does have the means to provide for his guest and even though it looks bad, he keeps on knocking.
May God truly show us and give us this type of prayer.
