You Just Have to Ask

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
