Ask, Search, Knock
7 “Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. 9 Is there anyone among you who, if your child asks for bread, will give a stone? 10 Or if the child asks for a fish, will give a snake? 11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him!"
Use this time of the Lenten season to learn about the invitations God has revealed to us…”ask and it will be given”. These commonly used verses remind us that God will listen to all. We may well be dumb enough to ask for the rocks and the snakes but then God gives us bread and fish anyway. We need not worry that God will punish us for praying wrongly!
Pray boldly and with perseverance and doors will open. What an amazing thought that His promises in Heaven are far better. We have the gift of knowing, through Jesus Christ, that our relationship begins now… each time we pray.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for hearing my prayers and revealing your promises through Jesus Christ. Amen.
