Tough Texts Part 4: Matthew 7:7-11 and Unanswered Prayer

This week our Tough Texts series will look at Matthew 7:7-11, in which Jesus says, “Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.” Jesus teaches emphatically that the Father will give in response to our asking, yet most of us have experienced the pain of unanswered prayer. What is Jesus saying here? Does God answer every prayer? What difference does prayer make?
