1. Luke 11:9-13
• “And I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive
what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will
find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be
opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives.
Everyone who seeks, finds. And everyone who
knocks, the door will be opened. “You fathers, if
your children ask for a fish, do you give them a
snake instead? Or if they ask for an egg, do you
give them a scorpion? Of course not! So if you
sinful people know how to give good gifts to your
children, how much more will your heavenly
Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him.”
