more on prayer

Jesus told his listeners in Matthew 7:7 and 8, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." In the next three verses he gets ridiculous to make his point. He said when our children ask for bread...we don't give them stones. He said when our children ask for fish...we don't give them snakes. He said if you "evil" ones "know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!" What are the good things the Father has in his storehouse? To name a few: forgiveness, eternal life, joy, peace, love, grace, mercy, strength... I mean! The Father DOES have tons of good for those who ask, seek, and knock!
