A. By obeying what you already know to be God’s Will. God is very clear about many, many aspects of His will. (John 15:7)

Choose one student to be Mother or Father. The rest of the students stand facing the Mother or Father in a row. The Mother or Father randomly chooses a student and tells them that they can take a certain number of baby steps, giant steps, or regular steps forward. The student, however, must ask, “Mother [or Father], may I?” and receive a “Yes” before they move. If they move without asking, they’re out of the game. B. It’s not gambling, blind faith, or leaving your life at the hands of uncertainty as some people would like to call it. In this way, prayer is a type of work, but which is not bound by space and time. Which is why, of course, as you point out, it is silly to pray for something good to happen if we are unwilling to life a finger to help it take place. If we are not willing to be answers to our own prayers, we have no business praying about them. So it is not really, “Where is God?” but rather, “Where are the Christians?”Seek – Tell students to keep their spoons, but that now, they have to find the next thing they’ll need for what you want to give them.

everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven.through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. Matthew 7 is part of what is commonly called the Sermon on the Mount. It’s a description of the truly righteous life, an outlining of “the law of Christ” (1 Corinthians 9:21, ESV). When Jesus says, “Ask and it will be given to you,” continual prayer is in view (Matthew 7:7a). Prayer is how we communicate our needs and desires to God. Of course, God, being omniscient, knows what Christians need whether they ask or not, but prayer is the means God has chosen to bring about those answers (James 4:2b). These verses are talking about how God always gives us good things. The first thing Jesus is saying is that if we ask, we will what?

Why is revelation so essential to our spiritual survival? Because the world can be confusing and noisy, full of deception and distractions. Communication with our Father in Heaven enables us to sort through what is true and what is false, what is relevant to the Lord’s plan for us and what is not. The world can also be harsh and heartbreaking. But as we open our hearts in prayer, we will feel the comfort that comes from our Father in Heaven and the assurance that He loves and values us. AskJesus tells me to ask of God. And, if I do, I will receive what I ask. But is that all there is to it? If I ask for a new car, will it be parked in the driveway next time I go out front? I do not believe that is the case. The receiving is really conditional. In the verses discussed below, it would seem that it is God’s children who are doing the asking. If you are not a part of God’s family, then this does not apply. And he is giving good gifts to his children. Not all that we might ask for would be good for us, even though we might think so. God will give us what will help us to develop properly as his children. Seek and Find
