The Way of Jesus—Matthew 7:7-12

Jesus’ words to “ask, seek, and knock” are an invitation to persistent prayer; not a promise that God will give us everything we want, but an assurance that our loving Father will give what is good according to his wisdom, timing, and will. Through the Holy Spirit, God meets us in our weakness, confusion, and unanswered prayers, even when we feel distant or unable to find the right words. As we trust God’s care for us, we are also called to love others actively and empathetically, treating them as we would want to be treated.
