He's there

We saw yesterday how in these verses Jesus gives us invitations, today we'll see that prayer is more than an invitation, Jesus gives us 7 promises for prayer.
Verses 7-8: “Ask, and [#1] it will be given to you; seek, and [#2] you will find; knock, and [#3] it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks [#4] receives, and the one who seeks [#5] finds, and to the one who knocks [#6] it will be opened.” Then at the end of verse 11b (#7): “How much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!”

Seven promises.
1-It will be given you. That's what we all want to hear, that our needs will be met and some times even our wants.
2-You will find. This one is good, it's one thing to seek something, it's even better when you find it.
3-It will be opened to you. Don't you hate knocking on doors when no one is home, you don't know whether to knock louder or just walk away. With God you will never have to make that decision.
4-The asker receives. Jesus gives us reassurance that as we ask, we will receive.
5-The seeker finds. Jesus won't let us go on a wild goose chase, if you are seeking with your heart, you will find that which you are seeking.
6-The knocker gets an open door. Here again, the promise of an open door.
7-Your Father will give you good things. All good things come from God, God is waiting to pour blessings on all who come to Him in prayer and belief. God is wanting to give us exceedingly, abundantly above all we can ask or imagine.
Surely the point of this list of promises is to say to us: Be encouraged to come. Pray to him. It is not in vain that you pray. God is not toying with you. He answers. He gives good things when you pray. Be encouraged.
What is the bottom line?
Pray often, pray regularly, pray confidently every day!
These verses are so reassuring to your prayer life. Make sure you don't just pray for your wants, but that you pray for God's will in your life. If you pray for that you'll actually get two answers instead of one.
Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day!
