Ask Dad

Daniel asked for both the content and interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream and received them (Daniel 2). Jesus told the people who gathered for what we call the sermon on the mount that His Father wanted to bless them with what they sought from Him:

“Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who searches finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. What man among you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! Therefore, whatever you want others to do for you, do also the same for them—this is the Law and the Prophets.”

Be bold. Not because you have a great justification. Not because you deserve it. Not because God owes you anything. Ask boldly for what you need and value because you are confident in the love your Father in Heaven has for you. It is immeasurable.
