Ask, Seek, Knock

Everything begins with our relationship to God.

Jesus made it possible for us to have a restored relationship with God.

We can talk with God, spend time in His presence,

and ask Him to help us because, as believers, we are called His sons and daughters.

Because of our relationship with God, He listens to us.

Much like a child talking to their parents, God wants us to speak to Him.

When we pray, we have the opportunity to tell God our needs, our concerns, and the desires of our heart.

Jesus tells us that if we seek a relationship with God, we will find it.

God gives Himself freely to all who seek Him.

God isn’t hiding in heaven, hoping we will someday find Him. He is readily available to talk with us.

Ask, Seek, Knock

This means we should be persistent in our relationship with Him.

We have access to the Creator of the world. Everything comes from Him and has life because of Him.

He has the ability to give us the things we need.

When we Pray, we have the Opportunity to tell God our Needs, our Concerns, and the Desires of our heart.

However, while we can ask for whatever we want, it doesn’t mean He will give us everything we ask for.

Just like an earthly father won’t give his child something harmful, God also won’t give us something we do not need.

Matthew 7:7-11 KJV

[7] Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

[8] for everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

[9] Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

[10] Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

[11] If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Ask, Seek, Knock

We often don’t ask God for things because we may feel guilty for doing so.

But God actually desires for us to go to Him—even with the smallest of requests.

Ask, Seek, Knock

Take some time today and tell God honestly how you feel.

Ask Him for the things you truly need in life.

Continue each day building a relationship with Him through Scripture reading and prayer.
