Ask the Father

Does God really answer prayer?In a world filled with sickness, uncertainty, and long seasons of waiting, many of us quietly wrestle with that question. In this message from Matthew 7:7–11, we are reminded of Jesus’ clear invitation: Ask. Seek. Knock.Prayer is not about demanding from a distant God or treating Him like a genie. It is about coming to our heavenly Father like a child—honest, dependent, and trusting. Jesus teaches us that our Father delights in giving good gifts to His children. While not every prayer is answered in the way we expect, we can trust that every answer flows from His goodness, wisdom, and love.In this sermon, we explore:What it means to ask the Father like a childHow to pray with surrendered heartsWhy we can trust that God gives good giftsHow prayer changes us, even when circumstances don’t changeMay we become a people devoted to asking, seeking, and knocking—confident that our Father hears us and responds with what is truly good.
