Verse: “How much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him?” – Matthew 7:11
Quote: “Prayer is not only asking, but an attitude of mind which produces the atmosphere in which asking is perfectly natural.”
Chambers believes Jesus’ emphasis was not on God giving you what you ask for, but that He can give it to you; God is all-powerful. Always keep your mind on the idea that God is in complete control of your circumstances, and communicate to Him with that understanding. Don’t ask blindly for everything you want, but out of the knowledge that God knows your situation and knows what’s best for you, and rest in perfect confidence that He will “give good things to them that ask Him.” If you pray along this line, it may be that what you receive is far greater than what you asked for.
