Category: Asking and Trusting God

Matthew 7:7 (NKJV) 7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

I find this verse to be very comforting, and it brings stability to me at times when I’m struggling with anxiety.

God is saying, “ask!”.

It’s very simple. But most times we forget to ask.

Is there something we have not asked Him for yet? Is there something we are letting get the best of us?

And if we have asked, are we trusting Him to deliver? Because the next verse says it all.

Matthew 7:8 (NKJV) 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

There we go; for everyone who asks, receives!

We must have filial trust.

Filial is a deep, childlike reliance and confident submission to God for His answer, timing and deliverance of that answer.

And while it may take time to show up, what does it say for us to continue doing?

Matthew 7:12 (NKJV) 12 Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

So, stay busy doing good things for others even in our midst of waiting for our answer.

This is obeying God as we wait on His promise in good faith!

Amen.
