You Just Have to Ask
Matthew 7:7-11
January 7, 2024
Do you really believe in the power of prayer?
We do pray, but often have doubts
JESUS’ INSTRUCTIONS ON PRAYER
Ask, seek, and knock
Why we can be confident when we pray
JESUS REFUTES EXCUSES FOR NOT PRAYING:
“God doesn’t need our prayers, so there is no need to pray” (James 1:17; 4:2b)
“Prayer doesn’t make any difference” (Romans 10:13; Luke 11:13)
“Prayer doesn’t work” (1 John 5:14)
PRAYER IS A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FATHER AND HIS CHILDREN
