“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

Matthew 7:7-12

Reflection

Jesus tells his disciples that if they ask, it will be given to them. If they knock, the door will be opened. If they seek, they will find their answer. The Father knows how to give good things to his children.

Jesus encourages us to have faith. By simply asking or seeking, we will receive. Of course, God answers our prayers in the best way he sees fit, not what we always imagine the answer should be. Regardless, when we have faith and are genuine in our pursuit of knowledge, Christ will provide it.

How is Jesus calling you to have greater faith in him today? What questions have you been desiring to ask, and will you be open to the answer?
