Just Ask


Luke 11:1-4, 9

The Message (MSG)

Luke 11

Ask for What You Need
 1 One day he was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said, "Master, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples." 2-4So he said, "When you pray, say,

   Father,
   Reveal who you are.
   Set the world right.
   Keep us alive with three square meals.
   Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others.
   Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil."

Luke 11:9

The Message (MSG)
 9"Here's what I'm saying:

   Ask and you'll get;
   Seek and you'll find;
   Knock and the door will open.

You can see the prayer is mentioned again as the guidelines for us when we pray, but the next part is something that I want you to remember.  Always ask God for whatever you want, then be ready to listen to what He has to say.  You have to accept His answer for your prayers, but He will always want to give you more than any of us ever deserve.
