Title: God's Faithfulness is Unchanging.

Prayer is simply an honest, ongoing conversation with God that shows you have faith in God. With faith you cannot ask for anything from God. 

 Jesus tells us that God knows what we need (Matthew 6:8), but He still wants us to come and tell Him what’s on our minds. He is a good Father who cares for us (Matthew 7:11). He wants to speak into our circumstances, comfort our hearts, and shape our perspectives.  

 He loves giving good gifts to His children—gifts they want, long for, and ask for. But sometimes, what we want isn’t actually good for us. 

 When Jesus says in Matthew 7:8, “ask, and it will be given to you,” He isn’t saying that we will get everything we ask for. 

 God cannot—and will not—give us anything that contradicts His character. God will only give us what is good, and sometimes a “no” from God is the response we actually need. But He still wants us to bring Him all our desires, and if we ask for anything that aligns with His will, He hears us. (1 John 5:14)

 So how do we discover God’s will? We spend time with Him. 

 The better we become acquainted with God, the deeper our understanding of His character will be. It is through this understanding of His character that we will seek things that are in harmony with His will.

  Jesus' teachings in Matthew 7 assure us that when we seek God, He grants us His presence. As we humbly search for God, He reaches out to us, accepting us just as we are. By approaching Him, we invite Him to transform our thoughts, renew our minds, restore our souls, and guide us on paths that bring about our well-being and His honor.

 I urge you to ask and seek God anytime you wish and make sure your request is in line with His plan. God is faithful to His promise and He lwill answer your prayers.
