Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you.
Matthew 7:7
So I say to you: 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.
Luke 11:9-10
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we
ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us…Ephesians 3:20
I don’t like the word stupid and forbid my
children to use it. It is like the word fool which my mother disciplined me
greatly for using. But it fits here.
We were in a meeting at church and the matter of asking God
for little and great things came up. Several of us could think of problems we
had that lasted years and we never thought of praying to God. When we finally
did ask as he tells us to, the problem ended soon or was solved in a way we
never could have imagined. The truth is,
no problem is too small and no problem is too large for our omniscient Lord.
Prayer: Our Father in Heaven, even though we know you
already know our request before we ask it, help us to remember to simply ask as
you tell us to many times in the Bible. Amen.
