The Power of Asking: Insights from Matthew 7:7

Everything begins with our relationship with GOD

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

• God wants us to speak and connect with Him

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

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

God gives Himself freely to all who are looking to Him.

• He isn't hiding in heaven hoping that we will someday find Him

• He is readily available to engage with His people.

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

WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE CREATOR OF THE WORLD!

• Everything comes from Him

• Everything has life from Him

He has the ability to give us the things we need, even the things we desire with pure motives.

However, while we can yes, ask for whatever we want it does not mean He will give us everything we ask for.

• Just as an earthly father won't give his child something harmful, God will not give you something you don't need.

Take some time today, and tell God how you honestly feel. Continue each day building a relationship with Him.

• Continue each day building that relationship with Him through scripture reading and prayer.
