This three-fold command to ask, seek, and knock, is short and simple, but what is most magnificent is the manifold response of God our Father to our asking. The main point that Jesus is teaching in this section is that God is a good and gracious Father who readily answers our prayers. Jesus could not make it any easier for us – He promises us a fruitful audience with our omnipotent Father. “Everyone who asks receives” (7:8). Prayer is a privilege reserved for God’s children that unfortunately many neglect. Given this magnificent invitation by the sovereign of all to come to Him and ask for good things, it is incomprehensible that we so regularly turn away in favor or frivolous activities. We carry around burdens; we are anxious; we lose sleep as we mull over our earthly cares; we forfeit our peace; and all the while God promises to give good things to those who ask Him! Isn’t it about time that we believe the promise of God and ask Him? He will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known (Jer 33:3).

“ Great Sermon! ” I've been listening to you on sermon audio for a while. Thank you for your sermon on Ask. I am 68 and have been a follower of Jesus for almost 44 years. Prayer has always been important to me but the last few years I haven't prayed as much as I should. Your sermon is a great encouragement to me and I desire to be more faithful in prayer. Thanks for the encouragement. GOD bless you!.
