For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Matthew 7:8 KJV

Are you looking for answers to your questions? Are you struggling with issues in your life that you don’t know how to resolve? God has the answer. And He wants to tell you what it is.

If you sincerely seek the face of God you will receive the answers that you need. If you ask for understanding and wisdom God will grant them to you. If you ask God to help you make the right decision, He will tell you what to do.  You just need to ask Him. We often times don’t find the answers to our questions simply because we don’t ask them (James 4:2). So ask God. He longs to give you an answer.

But, asking is not the only requirement. Asking is passive. You must become active and seek the answers you look for. Then God will grant you the knowledge you seek. God doesn’t want you to simply sit and ask him a question. He wants to see that you have the faith to believe He will answer. Ask Him, but then go out and search for the answer. God will tell you when you find it. If you think you have found the answer then consult God. If it is the answer you need then He will tell you. If it’s not, then He will let you know.

The key is to ask God for whatever you need. Then, once you have asked Him, start seeking and knocking. God will direct your paths to finding the answer He has for you.
