We Need Only Ask
Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. - Matthew 7:7-8
Jesus reminds us how much God loves us and how much God wants to give us whatever we ask. But why do we need to ask if God already knows what we want? Because the very act of asking shows our trust in God's goodness and our awareness that what we ask may not actually be the best for us. God knows what we really need and will give it to us, even when we don't know exactly what that might be. God is willing to give us what we need most because, in a very real sense, each one of us is God's beloved, more precious than we can ever begin to imagine.
Loving God, thank you for your deep love for each of us.
