Submission in the Bible: Mark 14:36

"Ask" in the Bible: Matthew 7:7-12
God is generous with His children, and this passage encourages us not to hold back our requests. When we request something in good faith, God promises to grant it. We can knock on the door with confidence, and need not worry that God will slam the door in our face.
