Bible verse
Matthew 7:7
“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:”
What it means
Jesus invites persistent, hopeful prayer: keep asking, keep seeking, keep knocking. Behind the promise stands a good Father who delights to give to his children, not a reluctant power we must wear down. This is not a formula for getting whatever we crave but an encouragement to bring our real needs to One who hears. He teaches us to pray as sons and daughters, confident that the door we knock on was opened to us by the cross of his own Son.
Read it, pray it, live it
On The Living Bread you can read the whole chapter, save this verse, ask Simon to explain it, pray it over your life, and share it with someone who needs it today.
