Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.
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.” MT 7:7-12
When is the last time you just sat in silence and talked to Jesus like you were talking to your best friend, your wife or husband, your co-workers, or your children? If so, what did He say? Today, Jesus teaches us a valuable lesson, if you truly seek Him with your whole heart (an undivided heart), He will come to you. First, we start with doubt. We doubt His existence, we doubt He answers our prayers, we doubt. If you seek Truth, you will find God for He is Truth. This Lent is about finding out who Jesus is. It is not about giving up chocolate, God doesn’t hate chocolate (Matthew Kelly). It is about finding God in your life, coming closer to Him.
Don’t know how to get closer to Him. Ask Him? God if you exist, show me who you are. Show me why You created me. If your earthly father, mother, family, friends, priests, teachers, coaches care for you and are there for you when you are confused or doubt, how much more will the heavenly Father, your Creator, give you the answers and care that you deserve. God knows what you need more than you know yourself. He is your Creator and He always creates with a purpose. You are a perfect miracle with dignity no matter what anyone says on earth. God doesn’t create mistakes or people without purpose. The difficult task of being a disciple of Christ, patience. God will tell you what He made you for in His time, not ours. We hate waiting. God likes to give us time to grow and learn from our mistakes.
We are all called to love. It is our innate vocation. He wants us to be happy and live with purpose, not just exist, but live! When you ask God the most important questions in your life or just advice on the little things, He will show you the Way. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Ask the One who made you anything and He will answer you more perfectly than anyone else. ”Ask and it will be given you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” MT 7:7-8 Our hearts are made for seeking and as St. Augustine says, “Our hearts will not rest until they rest in You.”
He may give you an answer you don’t want to hear, like a loving Father who is trying to protect us. He may tell us no like a loving Father would. Trusting that God wants what is best for us is the hardest part. We like to control everything and we aren’t in control, God is. Sometimes He tests our faith and wants us to learn how to wait. He wants to test us and see how faithful we will be and how much we trust Him. He knows what is best, are you willing to accept His Will over yours? Are you ready to accept suffering and sacrifice? It is required training of a soul seeking holiness. “Pray without ceasing” 1 Thes 5:17
This Lent do whatever it takes (prayer even when you don’t feel like it, fasting when you don’t like to, being present to others when you would rather be doing something for yourself) to come to know who God is in YOUR life. He seeks relationship with you (“I thirst” on the cross). Stop holding back and give yourself to Him.
Today’s challenge: Seek until you find, then be at peace and live the life given to you as a gift from your Creator. God’s not a slot machine to give you whatever you want. Are you willing to give up yourself for the Will of God? This will make you happiest!
Be a servant, become a saint!
#Christian YOLO
This is showing us that God will give us what we need.
It says that do other as you would like done to you, God is always trying to teach us a lesson we just don’t always listen.
I think this scripture is saying to ask God and we will receive. God is always right but you have to be able to talk and ask for it first. The amazing thing about God is that he is always listening and knows whats best for you.
In todays gospel God is telling me that if we ask Him for something He will give it to you. Then we need to be kind to others like He is to us. After we are kind to others then they will be kind back.
If we go to the Lord we will be happier. He is the way of life and the source of life. God will never turn us away. He will always be there for us, so we need to take advantage of Him being there for us.
Jesus is telling us that we need to be nice to others. If we have people who are rude to us we can choose to ignore them than say anything more the would hurt your relationship with them.
Today the scripture is telling me that we need to ask more. We can’t expect God to help us if we don’t ask. He might, but we can’t count on it. If we ask we are coming to the humble conclusion that we can’t do life on our own. We are admitting that we need God.
our purpose of life is to get to heaven and believing in God and talking to him helps him to open the door
“Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and the prophets.” Jesus wants us to think about how we treat others. If our own actions hurt someone, we shouldn’t do it. He tells us this so that we will think about our words and actions before we do them. Jesus is NOT telling us to give people whatever they want. Jesus is NOT telling us to expect to be treated how we want to be treated.
What I learned from this gospel is that we are all called to be loved by God and my others. We all need love in our life is that true and right. We all deserve love, and we all need to do so. People can love us but then we also need to love people back, and give back the love that they gave us. WE also need to learn to love even if they don’t love us back, it’s what God would do.
Today Jesus is telling us that no matter what, no matter how much we sin and deny Him he’ll always be there for us. He wants us to know how much He loves us and will never leave us alone or down the wrong path.
I think this is telling us that Jesus wants us to do the right thing, even if we don’t want to do the right thing, Jesus is going to guide us to it, so we’ll grow and become better people as we get older. We might not enjoy it at the time, but as we get older, we’ll be happy about the decisions we made in the past.
In today’s gospel, Jesus tells us if we knock the door will be opened, if we seek we will find, and if we ask it will be given to us. Jesus tells us to come to Him fully with our whole heart, asking to receive Him. Come to Jesus and He accepts us. I need to trust in God and come to Him when times are tough.
How can those with much wisdom give terrible gifts, unless they are wicked? Are the wicked who gives good gifts the wise ones? Or are their intentions wicked? Do not the intentions tell whether they are good or bad better than what they give? Should we give ourselves intentionally to others and our gift rather than just doing it for whatever reason we might have? If we give bread to the little ones just to make us look good we are no better than the wicked. But if we give bread to the little ones for their sake we shall be saved. For whoever finds his life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for the sake of the Lord will find it.
It’s important to remember that Jesus doesn’t answer our prayers because we want something. In Father Jarrod’s homily on Tuesday, he said that God doesn’t just answer any prayer we give Him. God knows what each of our desicions and gifts will do for us in return. Just because we think we need sometihing urgently doesn’t mean that it will be best for us in the long run, but God knows. God knows everything, he knows the past, present, and future. We have to trust that God has us in His best interest.
Jesus says today, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find”. If you ask for something from God, it will be given to you. Whatever you do to others, do to them how you want to be treated.
Jesus tells us “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” Jesus tells us if we ask it will be given to us. Jesus does not always do what we want. Sometimes instead of answering a prayer the way we want, Jesus will send us down another path. We should be trusting of Jesus and what he wants of us.
Do to others what you would want done to you.
What he is trying to get across to us is that if we ask for his help it will be given to us. But if you don’t ask you shall not ever receive what you need.
Jesus tells us that if we ask Him for something we shall receive unless it’s harmful to us. Jesus knows how to give us good gifts and wants the best for us. We should learn from this and give good gifts to other. If we give good gifts to others so will our heavenly Father give good gifts to us. If we don’t ask Jesus for gifts then we will never get them.
Be respectful to everyone and you will be received for some of them to be respectful to you. you need to because Jesus wants us to be kind to those who need it and those who do not get respected that much.
In today’s scripture Jesus tells us we need to be kind to everyone. He says ““Do to others whatever you would have them do to you.” This is also the Golden rule. If you want to have good friendships with people or Jesus you need to understand that you have to be loyal and trustworthy and so do they. You can be mean and rude and expect others to be kind back. We need to treat everyone the same.
In today’s reading was actually one of my favorite quotes “Do to others whatever you would have them do to you.” I love this quote from the bible because it helps me think before I act. I think whether or not I would want someone to do this to me or not.
“Do to others whatever you would have them do to you.” It’s the golden rule. We hear is often in your lives; we’re told to live by this rule. Although this may be a passing thought for some, something super obvious, I think that these words are extremely powerful. Not only because it means that if we do good, good will come to us, but that bad will come if we do it as well.
This Scripture is likes saying treat everybody with love and like make good decisions ” 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,” i like saying to to be nicer to your family if you not or who ever it is just like be nice to them.
I think that this scripture is telling us to realize that we are all entitled to Gods mercy, and we as people need to follow him and do as He tells us. we need to be good role models, “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.” I also think that we have to realize that we have to choose if we want to do good or bad, God gives us mercy but its not His choice to send us to hell or heaven.
Today Jesus talks about how “everyone who asks, receives ; and the one who seeks finds” if you wan’t some thing from God you just have to ask and you will receive maybe not right away or in the way you expect but it will happen.
“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.” Jesus is saying that is the One True God, He can do anything. If we are in a time of sickness He will be there to help us. When we ask in prayer just talk to Him like He is your best friend. If you talk to Him will your whole heart, He will come to you and help you.
God is telling us that if want thing s we need to be willing to help others. We cannot just expect to get what we want if we are not willing too hep others when they need it. God will help us if we are kind, loving, merciful, and helpful to others. So lets help others so we can get to heaven someday and talk to God face to face.
This scripture is telling us to follow God
This scripture is telling us to follow God.
This scripture means that whatever you might ask for will be given to you, or if you ask for forgiveness God will give it to you, if you are playing hide and seek somewhere you will find one of the hiders that you are trying to seek, or if you are at Church and you are trying to seek God into your heart and to try to stay with God, if you knock on the door someone will open it for you, or if knock in silents in the church God should be able to come let you in to his house that you go to every Sunday or Saturday, and on the weekdays. Also you should always believe in God no matter what type of religion you are, either Catholic or Christian, or any of the others.
I think this Gospel is telling us that God will open the door for heaven if you seek it.
“Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find; the only thing we should be looking for is Jesus and the only thing we will find is him.
“Ask and you will receive.” We must ask of God and he will give to us, but in order for that to happen, we must pray to him and make a relationship with him. We must get close to him and love him. If we do not pray to him and continue to sin against him, our relationship with him we become less and less. Always pray and ask, and he will give to you.
We need to have a relationship with God and ask Him for things not just assume he knows what we need everyday. We need to pray, because it is important in having a personal relationship with God. We need to ask for things from Him, rather than just wait around and hope He does what we want.
This scripture today is telling me that if you ask God and build a personal relationship with him, he will help you find eternal life. We have to put in work to get to Heaven. We can’t go through every day not talking to God, and expect to go to Heaven.
what the scripture is saying to me is that we should give good gifts to people who ask of it and not anything bad when we dont want to give good gifts.
“Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and the prophets.” MT 7:7-12 This stuck out to me because this is right. If we want to get into Heaven we have to earn it. We can’t go around and be round to people and expect great things. We have to earn Heaven.
This scripture reflection shows how much we need to care for one another. It says “Do to others whatever you would have them do to you.
This is the law and the prophets.” MT 7:7-12 We all have to follow the image of Jesus.
I think today’s scripture passage is trying to tell us that Jesus always knows what we want/ are thinking before we even ask Him anything. We should always think good about others and do kind things for them. If someone does something nice for you, we need to treat them how they treated us by doing something kind back. If somebody is not being kind to you, you need to be kind to them, even if you have to go out of your way to do it, or if you just don’t want to do it because of the way they treated you. God always wants us to be kind to others no matter how they treat us.
what im getting from this is that you’ll get what you ask for but not right away. you have to wait and see if you deserve it. You cant use God as a person that will give you everything or treat him bad. you have to make space for him in your life too. Not only other things.
Something that stood out to me was, “Do to others whatever you would have them do to you.” This stood out to me because you should hurt others in general. If they hurt you forgive them like how God for gives us. We are here for a reason and we should do harmful things to one another. We are all made by the same person for good. When you hurt someone you sin and it’s not nice.
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” Jesus says that if we ask something of Him, He will give it to us. Even though this is true, we should not expect it. God gives us anything we could ever need. If we ask for something that won’t benefit us, God may not give it to us for our own good. We cannot expect things from the Holy Father, we can only ask. God knows what’s best for us, and He will tend to our every need.
God wants us to use lent to get closer to him and alot of us don’t take that oportinity. We need to get closer to God in our society or more of us will fall into the grasps of satan.
I think that this is saying that we should open up to Jesus and talk to him through prayer. He will listen to us, we just need to have hope. If we ask of him, he will not return with bad. He will help us through our hardships or whatever we are dealing with. We just have to trust and go to him.
Jesus is telling us how to live our lives. He tells us we need to treat others the way we want to be treated. We need to treat others with kindness and love. We need to live our lives as Jesus and the saints did.
I think that this is saying that we should open up to Jesus and talk to him through prayer. He will listen to us, we just need to have hope. If we ask of him, he will not return with bad. He will help us through our hardships or whatever we are dealing with. We just have to trust and go to him.
We have to ask God to forgive us his forgiveness we must go to in prayer if we wish to receive his blessing.
This scripture reflection is telling me that if you are not believing in God you need to ask him “what you purpose is on this earth” and ask him to help you grow in holiness. God is always there for you when you need it the most.
Today, Jesus is saying that we can ask for anything from the father and we shall recieve it. Now this doesn’t mean we can ask him for a billion dollars or a new phone and he will give it to us, what it means is that we can ask for a petition, pray for something, and have it be done.
In today’s Gospel Jesus said “knock and the door will be open.” This quote stuck out to me because We the people if we knock and spend time with Jesus then we will have Eternal Life when that time comes. But we have to keep working at praying or spending time with Him or else there’s no point.
today, God is asking us to trust in him, and to trust in him enough to ask him for things. we cannot be too scared to ask God for what we want and need, because he will give us what we need when we need it.
The scripture today is telling me that whenever we need help from God all we need to do is ask. God is always there by our sides and he will always know if we need something. God will give us what we need if we just ask.
We should ask Jesus for our needs during prayer. We can all pray more I am trying to get better but it is still hard. The more we pray and ask for petitions from the father our prayers will be answered.
“Do to others whatever you would have them do to you.” This is the most powerful quote that today’s society needs. We including myself tend to treat people horribly and just laugh it off and not really understand what we are doing.
When you ask the Lord something, you will receive. Maybe it’s not in the way you were expecting. Maybe you don’t notice your answer. But He will always answer if it be in His will. It will be for your good and the good of others and there will be no evil for he is not like the evil of our human nature. God is good and can only give good, and when you ask for it, you shall receive.
What this scripture reflection says to me is that we all need to try to be more Christ like. We all need to try our best, to out do what we did the day before. But if we need help, then we should ask for it. Because Jesus will give us what we ask for, and he will help us.
This scripture is telling me to give. When someone asks something of me then I should go do it. When someone asks for something from me I should give it. Just like how Jesus gave himself up for us we should give ourselves up for him.
Jesus will give you what you need, even if you don’t know or think you need it, but to do that you have to trust Him. Sometimes it will seem like He didn’t give you what you needed at that moment, but He knows what is best for you. He knows everything and how your life will play out and you don’t, so if you don’t think you need something He knows that you do and how it will help you and other people.
I think this is saying that we just need to give ourselves to the Lord and spend more time with Him. Also how we should treat each other with love and respect. Ask and you shall receive its that easy we just have to try, we have to care.
In this Gospel God is telling us that we can’t just pray once and something will happen right away. He tells us that we need “ASK AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU; SEEK AND YOU WILL FIND; KNOCK AND THE DOOR WILL BE OPENED TO YOU.” Just like in prayer we can’t just expect things to happen right after we pray especially if it is not sincere. He wants us to pray everyday, he wants us to seek so we can find the truth and the light, and knock on the gates into Heaven so he can see us face to face.
This scripture says that God will never abandon you. Up until the end, God will be on your side and he will be with you forever and will not ever lose hope in you. God forever has faith in you, but we need to put our faith in God as well. Trust God and he will lead us to heaven.
This scripture reminded me that we are selfish, and that we want the best only for us and to be on top and better than others. We should only get what we deserve. We only get what we deserve from God. He gives us even more than what we shall get. Things like, his love, grace, son, and house (heaven).
Today, Jesus tells us, “Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you.” We can’t be afraid to ask Him for things, but we also have to believe that he has the power to do it. We have to ask him to help us with our own personal struggles and work on them. He also tells us to do to others as we would have them do to us. We have to take in mind what we are doing and reflect on if it is what Jesus would want us to do.
This scripture tells us that we should speak more to Jesus and not just acknowledge Him during mass or adoration. We need to take time out of our day to talk to Him about anything our heart wants to say. To never be afraid of asking Him anything and just because He doesn’t answer your prayer right then and there doesn’t mean that Jesus doesn’t love you. We need to trust in God and know He is always there for us.
I think God is trying to tell me in the scripture passage that if we ask Him for something, He will always try His best to give us what we need. As this passage says, “For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” I think this means that God is always there for you and He wants us to trust Him with our life, because He is the one that gave it to us. We need to trust Him with everything, because He is the reason we are here and we have everything we have. So we need to ask, and we will receive. And we need to trust, just as God trusts us.
In this Gosepl, Jesus says to ask and recieve. To knock and He will open the door, and if you seek He will make sure you find it. We need to pray and come to God with our needs.
In this gospel I think it’s telling me that I if I where to ask for something then He would give it to me. It might take time but He will answer us eventually. But in order for Him to answer us then we have to listen. We have to believe, and it will take time.
We need to know how to ask God to help us. Because if we believe that we are not worthy or do not deserve to be forgiven then we will not be forgiven. But that could not be farther from the truth. I mean yes we do not deserve anything from Jesus. But he is always there waiting for us, waiting to forgive us. It is just up to us to come to him.
we have to ask Jesus for a miracle or for healing. We CANNOT recieve these things if we don’t ask him for these, we have to give ourselves to him.
In this passage Jesus says, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find.” This is telling me that if I turn away from God he will still accept me just I won’t be finding my way to him and I will be looking at something else or if I am just sitting in the Church and not participating and not listening and just not caring God will still let you in but you wouldn’t be looking for that so you need to try and find you way to God by participating in Mass and Praying and you will be Seeking and you will find God just how Jesus said.
What Jesus is trying to tell us is that we need to believe and we will find what hes trying to show us.
We have to help people without them asking even small things like doing the dishes or take out the trash without your parents telling you to. Kind of like how you should pray to God without your parents telling you to, maybe at first but you should start to get into a habit and routine of prayer.
What I get from this is that if you just ask it will be given to you but you have to wait. If you really want it that bad then wait and ask it will be given to you. This is great because we always want to have it right way instead of waiting. We want everything now but if you just wait it will be given to you better than before.
In the Gospel today I think that God is trying to tell us to go to mass and receive him. He says “For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds.” That tells me that when we ask for his forgiveness and for His help we can get it by going to mass and receiving the EUcharist.
In todays Scripture Jesus is telling us that no matter how much we sined he will also love us and all ways having mercy upon us, forgiving us too. We need to go to confession during lent and pay attention to God
To me this Scripture is saying that we ask for God to give us everything that we think will please us, but it doesn’t matter what we think. We don’t know what is right and good for us. We need to work on just putting our trust in God because He has a plan for us. Yesterday the Scripture pointed out that we question God if He really has power over the whole world, but today the Scripture is saying that we ask God for things. We are so full of ourselves that we think we really know best. We are so wrong. Can we not decide whether it’s best for us to just trust in God’s plan or do life our own way? If you ask anybody who has had experience both ways, they will tell you that it’s best to be on the path God is calling you towards.
To me this mean that God is telling us that look for Him and you will find Him. Ask for him and you shall receive Him. It feels like this is God telling us about the mass and receiving the Eucharist. Now God is also not saying to ask stuff from him like asking Him for a command but he is asking us to to receive the Eucharist. It also feels like God is telling us that we need to be willing to help others if we want these things we are asking of Him
At the end of today’s Scripture Jesus says, “Do to others whatever you would have them do to you.” This line is a very important one that has been repeated many time throughout the Bible. The reason to do this is because Jesus is inside of everyone around us, so when you are rude to them you are also rude to Him. But when you treat others how you want to be treated then you can make everyone happy.
I think that this reading directly relates to what we do with the statue of Sleeping St. Joseph. We put our notecards under him to ask for a miracle and that is exactly what Jesus is telling us to do in today’s Gospel. If we never ask, we will never receive so we have to knock to make sure that the door is open to us. I know that that is a really cheesy sentence but it is true. When it is Christmas time you don’t expect someone to get you what you want if you never ask them for it. I know that God knows everything so he doesn’t have a problem with knowing what we want but if we ask God for something, it shows Him that we really do want it and maybe he will give it to us. The point is you will never know if you don’t pray to him and ask for it.
God is telling us to come to him. God is waiting behind the door sitting their in silence for us to join in. We just have to knock on the door. We need to seek, knock, ask for it and God will give us himself. All we have to do is come to him in humility and knock for the reward will be great in Heaven. Are you going to knock?
The gospel today is telling me stay away from the evil and the good will be there. In the gospel today the Lord says knock on the door and the door will be open. That’s when we know that the Lord will always have time to he us pray and to answer them. And He will always be listening even if we don’t believe it.
In the Scripture passage, Jesus is telling us that is here for us with open arms. He is there to comfort us, be someone to talk to, your best friend. He wants us to come to Him with our worries and problems. If you ask for something, it will be given to you by the Holy Spirit in some way shape or form. Our Heavenly Father will be their for us in good times and bad times, no matter what you’ve done or you don’t believe He is truly in your presence.
jesu is her for us dring the hard times ni or life
i think this scripture is how we shouldn’t expect to get everything from God, we need to ask God for what we want of need.
I think this Gospel lines very nicely with the Golden Rule. We need to be aware of the things we ask for and the things we give, as they are tied together. Why do we give dumb gifts and then we ask for really expensive gifts in return? We need to mind the fact that we should treat others like Jesus, because they are part of Jesus. Jesus is in every one of us, so treat others as you would treat Him.
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” If you look for God, you will find and recieve him. It’s as simple as that. If you truly want God, you will get him.
What I think Jesus is saying is that we need to ask him for things. I think what he wants us to ask for is our petitions. I think he is just saying is that we need to ask from him more petitions and he will give it to us.
This Scripture is saying that the doors to Heaven will always be open even though we are sinners.
I think God is telling us that you won’t just be getting everything you want just like that. You have to go out and go get it and work for it. Whether thats an animal or something like that, you have to work for it and not sit around and do nothing about it . If you want to get something from a friend or family member YOU have to go out and get it for youselves. It’s also like a job and you won’t get money for doing nothing.
I think the Scripture is saying if we believe in Jesus and trust in him we will get great things from God. God gives us many things. God gives us things when sometimes we don’t deserve them. When we still don’t appreciate God He gives us a lot.
I think scripture is saying that we must be kind to each other and you will get treated kindly by the Father. If you treat others nicely do not expect anything in return, if you expect things in return you aren’t doing kind things just to do them. You are doing kind things to be given things in return.
The gospel today is about asking God and you shall receive. God told the apostles to ask him about things they need and they shall receive. Sometimes people get upset with God because they do ask God many times and dont receive. You have to be patient with God. Then one day you will get what you want.
We must be patient. We must wait for God. We have to be open to God’s call and find it.
In this scripture it is telling us that if we pray then we will find God when we pray so we can be with God for eternity in heaven. God will always want us to seek for him and find him.
This scripture today is telling us many powerful things. Today’s scripture is telling us that no matter what, no matter how much we hurt someone or sin and deny Him he’ll always be with and and always be there for us. He wants us to know how much He loves each and every one of us. He would die just for one person. He will never leave us alone.
I think that it is telling us that we should reach out to him and ask him about stuff and he will give us an answer in return. It is saying that we have to just ask to get an answer or and outcome of what it is we want.
The gophel say ask and it will be given. Ask you bread it will be given to you. Ask for fish it will given to you. Knock on the door and it will be given to you. If we pray the lord will give it to us if we believe in him.
I think this scripture is trying to tell us that we should actually try to form a relationship with God instead using him to get what we want. God is our creator A.K.A. our loving Father and we should treat him just like our father on earth. Still, I think that we should not be afraid about asking God for something.
Jesus is saying that if we ask then we will receive it. We don’t receive everything we ask though, we have to earn our way to it.
In this Gospel, Jesus is telling me that we should treat everyone as we want to be treated and be kind to others. “Ask, and it will be given to you.” “Knock, and the door will be open to you.” We shouldn’t just ignore people because would God ignore us if we asked for prayers? No, He wouldn’t. He wants us to act like Him and spread His love and kindness. More people would be happier if we weren’t mean and just ignoring them when they need help or just ask a question.
