Ask and it will be given to you;
seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks receives;
he who seeks finds;
and to him who knocks,
the door will be opened.
Which of you, if his son asks for bread,
will give him a stone?
Or if he asks for a fish,
will give him a snake?
If you,
then,
though you are evil,
know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
Matthew 7:7-11 NIV!
By the simple discussion of these verses, Jesus urges us to keep our minds filled with the truth of God's control behind everything, which means that we must maintain an attitude of perfect trust and an eagerness to ask and to seek. What is trust? Having perfect trust means we have perfect faith! With faith all things are possible.
God is my Father, He loves me, Why should I worry?
Even when you feel like you are stuck in darkness...You are Not.
Even when you feel God is like an unkind friend......He is Not.
Even when you feel God is an unjust judge..............He is Not.
Even when you fill in the blank................................He is Not.
All trust and believe God is behind all things strong and growing.
Nothing happens unless God's will is behind it,
(There is a reason for everything...pun intended)
therefore we can rest in perfect confidence in Him.
Prayer is not only asking,
but an attitude of mind which produces the atmosphere in which asking is perfectly natural.
"Ask and it will be given to you!"
