Ask Your Father in Faith

Good parents provide for their children. They provide the physical things their children need to live—food, clothing, shelter. Young children cannot live without these things, yet they never worry about how they will get them, not if they have good parents. 

Good parents teach and train their children so that, by the time they’re grown, they will know what they need to know to live successfully on their own. Children may not always like the training and the discipline, but parents provide it because they know their children need it. 

Good parents are happy to meet their children’s needs. When a child brings a favorite toy to her father because it is broken, a good father is happy if he can fix it for her. When a child comes to his mother, hot and thirsty, and asks for a drink, of course a good mother will give it to him.

Our parents do not refuse us the things of this life; even less will God our Father refuse to give us what we ask in faith.” Matthew 7:7–11.
