Mat 7:8 | MHM | STEP | v. 8 : Jesus promises that our prayers will not be wasted: Everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened (Matthew 7:8 ). This promise is for everyone, not just the disciples. No matter who you are—rich or poor, young or old—God listens if you pray with faith. The promise is given in the present tense. If you believe, you can enjoy God’s promise right now, as if you already have what you asked for (Psalm 108:7-8 ). When you meet God’s condition of asking, He will give.
