Read It:
Jesus said to his disciples:
"Ask and it will be given to you;
seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds;
and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Which one of you would hand his son a stone
when he asked for a loaf of bread,
or a snake when he asked for a fish?
If you then, who are wicked,
know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more will your heavenly Father give good things
to those who ask him.
"Do to others whatever you would have them do to you.
This is the law and the prophets."
"Ask and it will be given to you;
seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds;
and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Which one of you would hand his son a stone
when he asked for a loaf of bread,
or a snake when he asked for a fish?
If you then, who are wicked,
know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more will your heavenly Father give good things
to those who ask him.
"Do to others whatever you would have them do to you.
This is the law and the prophets."
Reflect on It: BOLDNESS! Today's reading calls us to be bold in our prayers to the Lord. Ask for the things we desire, ask with a heart full of hope. He wants to give us everything and often, we don't believe that. God grants those things that we are bold about. Are we willing to trust and believe that he can give them to us?
Pray about It: Lord, help me to be bold with you and to trust that you will give me the things I desire most deeply in my heart. I love you and hope in you.
Live It! Challenge: Today, BOLDLY ask the Lord for something on your heart. Make it big, who cares...go crazy. Write down the deepest desires of your heart and then ask the Lord for them!
