#21 - The Prayer Problem: Petitioning God and Accepting His Will

Does prayer work? Can you ask God for whatever you want? Should we expect God to hear and answer our prayers? We discuss Matthew 7:7-11 and more passages about prayer. Why its difficult at times and things we've learned. Matthew 7:7–11 (ESV) “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 the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are 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!"
