Just A.S.K.: No Stupid Questions - 8/11/24

The only stupid question is the one you didn’t ask.

“…Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it.”
—James 4:2, NLT

““Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Who among you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him.”
—Matthew 7:7–11, CSB

““Enter through the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who go through it. How narrow is the gate and difficult the road that leads to life, and few find it.”
—Matthew 7:13–14, CSB

Our prayers reflect our priorities.

Prayers God Always Answers:
Praying for more of God instead of just stuff from God.

“And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure.”
—James 4:3, NLT

Narrow road prayers are not about what we want but seeking what God wants for us.
