A life hack is defined as a technique adopted in a non traditional manner to complete a task more efficiently. A few years ago the website BuzzFeed shared a number of very useful life hacks. While those life hacks apply to everyday earthly taks, there is a technique that can help improve our spiritual lives. In Matthew 7:7-11 Jesus shares this technique with His disciples: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone?Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! Persistent prayer is the key to a healthy spiritual life. |
Prayer |
Lord, Jesus thank You! I know that when I ask for things that are in Your will and in Your name I will receive them. Please align my heart and spirit with Your will for my life. Amen. |

The scripture in Matthew 7:7-11 has sometimes been misinterpreted as: If I keep asking God for something I will get It. Truthfully, the scripture is based on your request being aligned with the will of God. This week pray and ask God to align your desires with His will. |
