God Keeps Pleading with Us to Ask

A Few Examples


Psalm 50:15 Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me.

Psalm 91:14-15 Because he has set his love on me . . . He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

Matthew 7:7-8,11 Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened. . . . If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

Luke 18:1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up

John 15:7 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

John 16:24 Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.

James 1:5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God . . .

James 5:13 Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. . . .
