31ST MARCH
Matthew 7:7-11
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Of if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!”
God wants to answer our prayers!
Any good father loves to give special gifts to his children, and God is a good Father. When he thinks about you his heart is full of warmth and the desire to bless you. He’s waiting for you to start seeking for him and asking of him.
Ask the Holy Spirit what he wants you to ask for and then spend some time listening for the answer. He knows what’s best for you. Then if you have never done it, I encourage you to keep a prayer journal for a while and track your requests and God’s answers. I think you will be blown away (as I was) at how much God has done in your life in direct response to your prayers.
MAKE IT PERSONAL
When have you seen God come through when you thought he wouldn’t? How does that situation give you hope that God will come through when you need him to?
