Matthew 7:9-11 can you explain it or add ant relevant scriptures or comments?

What that scripture means to me is this, as a parent I always strive to give my kids the best we had. It may not be the best there was to have, it was the best I could give them. I did not hold back my best effort, I gave freely to my children.

If I compare that to my heavenly Father who is unlimited in power and resources, with the same view in mind that I would give my all for my children, as a follower of the true God Jehovah I am assured that when we are promised that Jehovah will open his hand & satisfy our desire until there is no more want. All we have to do is what it says at John 17:3.

Yes its obvious, God knows what you want and many times you have blessings and don't even say thank you.

What is a blessing, what is a gift from God? is it good health, is it a good family or a good husband/wife? children that don't cause suffering and pain to the parent?

Jesus's words are as relevant today as they were yesterday and will be tomorrow. You can't put God in a box and say He caused pain and suffering because Jesus told us that though God the Father loves us, pain and suffering are part of the wages of sin, even Jesus suffered on this earth for sin of the whole world.

We aren't paying for the sin of Adam and Eve, but the sin we committ daily, by thinking badly about another person, to the point of hate, complaining about things that are happening to us or to other people; like you want everything perfect. Well this isn't a perfect world and never will be, so once we get over that part and just try to the best to our own abilities we will feel His grace and Love because we just received His gift of understanding.

Anyone can ask for help and anyone can give help. But with faith more can be done. Because the asker is the believer and the giver is the Lord. My footnote refer to Luke 11: 13. Saying that Luke presents the gift of the Holy Spirit as the response of the Father to the prayer of the Christian disciple.

I think it means that just as human's as parents give the best they can to their children (bread instead of stone, fish not serpant), our spiritual father will do the same for us. If people, who are flawed and who sin, have this as an inherent instinct, then surely God who is not flawed will provide even greater things out of love.

I think it still relevant because it reminds us of the bonds that bring people together, and that giving and sharing all you can is about demonstrating love for other people - this is a lesson we need now more than ever.

It means, that if you ask, and keep on asking (but not out of greed, and not while living in blatant sin) then He will answer your prayer as a Father helps his son.

Of course it is still relevant! God does not care how 'advanced' mankind sees himself! He does not change his mind just because people hate Him more than any time in history. God is God - he is the great 'I am'.

You have reminded me of how much more I need to know scripture, because I know there is plenty relating to this, but I can't find it straight off.

Prayer is the appointed means for obtaining what we need. Pray; pray often; make a business of prayer, and be serious and earnest in it. Ask, as a beggar asks alms. Ask, as a traveller asks the way. Seek, as for a thing of value that we have lost; or as the merchantman that seeks goodly pearls. Knock, as he that desires to enter into the house knocks at the door. Sin has shut and barred the door against us; by prayer we knock. Whatever you pray for, according to the promise, shall be given you, if God see it fit for you, and what would you have more? This is made to apply to all that pray aright; every one that asketh receiveth, whether Jew or Gentile, young or old, rich or poor, high or low, master or servant, learned or unlearned, all are alike welcome to the throne of grace, if they come in faith. It is explained by a comparison taken from earthly parents, and their readiness to give their children what they ask. Parents are often foolishly fond, but God is all-wise; he knows what we need, what we desire, and what is fit for us. Let us never suppose our heavenly Father would bid us pray, and then refuse to hear, or give us what would be hurtful.

It means that what ever you ask of your Father so shall the Father in heaven give you the same not different.

To me it means that God has great things planned for me and wants me to ask him so that he can give them to me. By this i dont mean just basic needs like food and water, clothing, or things i might want like money or a plasma tv, but fruits of the spirit, people who will support me, strength for each day, His constant presence with me, understanding of scriptures etc

It says something like...

If earthly parents would give a lot to their children, how much more good stuff the Heavenly Father can give.

it's in reference to God providing for our needs. it means if we ask God for something, he WILL give it.

Now, that doesn't mean material things, necassarily.

It means if we ask God for things like peace, wisdom, discernment, we will find them through him.
