—Matthew 7:7-11
by: Margaret Taylor.
Today’s Scripture verses assure us that God hears and answers our prayers according to our need and sincere dependence on Him as our provider. He desires to bless and not to harm us. We must come to God as Jesus taught—with a right attitude, respectfully, and with right motives, remembering to whom we make our requests. Matthew 7:12 also suggests that while we wait for God to answer our requests, we work diligently to help meet the needs of others. This is God’s design for providing for His children.
