“And I tell you, ask and you will receive; 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." (Luke 11: 9 - 10).
The above Scripture, the greatest encouragement to prayer is well known. But do you believe it? Or do you think that answers to prayer is reserved for a lucky few?
Please note that in Luke 11: 9 - 10, it is God Himself who makes the promise without pressure or any showmanship. God is not running for election to claim what He could never do. In brief, God never lies.
"God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?" (Numbers 23: 19).
God wants us to ask Him for everything we need. He knows that there is no better way to grow in faith than to experience the pure joy of answered prayer. Saints append Luke 11: 9 - 10 at the end of their petitions. The Church prays in like manner. Call this: the ground for confidence in prayer. God Never Fails! Period!!!
Let us thank God for the gift of Prayer. Without this gift, we will all be Unbelievers.
