From Beginning To End - Quarter 4ಮಾದರಿ

For some, prayer is an odd idea. God knows what we want, so why do we need to ask for it? Jesus goes a step further and says not only should we ask, we should ask repeatedly. He also continues to turn things upside-down by teaching that people who would traditionally be believed to have the best relationship with God actually don’t and those thought to be far from God aren’t. When it comes to prayer, God wants us to understand that what we are asking for belongs to God. For us to expect to get things from God without asking assumes that He owes us things. When we ask, and ask repeatedly, we acknowledge the nature of the relationship between us. We are requesting that the God of the Universe provide something we do not deserve.
