Matthew 7:7-11

GOD’S WORD Translation

The Power of Prayer^(A)

⁷ “Ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened for you. ⁸ Everyone who asks will receive. The one who searches will find, and for the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

⁹ “If your child asks you for bread, would any of you give him a stone? ¹⁰ Or if your child asks for a fish, would you give him a snake? ¹¹ Even though you’re evil, you know how to give good gifts to your children. So how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him?
