-11 Jesus is teaching his disciples and listeners that it is important for us to ask our father in heaven to supply our needs. He says: “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking and you will find. Keep on knocking in the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, The door will be opened. You parents – if your children ask for a loaf of bread do you give them a stone instead? Or if they ask for a fish do you give them a snake? Of course not! So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly father give good gifts to those who seek him.”

Sometimes God’s answer is not the one that we are expecting or it’s not in our preferred timing. But it’s always in his PERFECT timing by his will.
In Matthew
So why does Jesus say this but then sometimes we feel like our ask goes unanswered? 🤷‍♀️
So then what SHOULD we ask for? Instead of begging God to change our situation, how about we ask God to give us patience, strength or wisdom to help us through it? Ask him to turn your struggles in to strengths. Ask him to reveal to you his plan for your life! ✨
Listening to God’s commands can be challenging at times but he will always keep his promises. God’s plan is always better than ours and when we submit to God he becomes a real treasure.
In the the book of Job, chapter 22 verses 21-25 talk about this very thing. It says:
“Submit to God, and you will have peace; then things will go well for you. Listen to his instructions, and store them in your heart. If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored— so clean up your life. If you give up your lust for money and throw your precious gold into the river, the Almighty himself will be your treasure. He will be your precious silver!”
Will you make God your treasure today? He will be all you ever need. 💜
