"Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks will receive, and anyone who seeks will find, and the door will be opened to him who knocks. Would any of you who are fathers give your son a stone when he asks for bread? Or would you give him a snake when he asks for a fish? As bad as you are, you know how to give good things to your children. How much more, then, will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him!"

Matthew 7:7-11

Has anyone ever asked you if God answers your prayers. Think about it. There will probably be a number of instances where you were at the bottom of the pile, no one could or would help you and you asked God for help. Most likely you got from God what you needed. It may not have been what you thought you needed. It may not even have been what you wanted. But, it was what you needed at that particular time. God knows how to help. All He asks is that we ask with a clear heart; say Thank You; and build a relationship with Him, through His Son Jesus. Prayer should be a vital time in your life. Carve out the time. Make peace, and Ask Jesus, and rely on the Spirit to help.

Through Prayer, finite man draws upon

the power of the infinite God.
