Let's prepare our hearts for what's ahead in 2026 and focus on a New Year's Resolution: Growing closer to God. To do that, we have to enter into relationship with Him — we have to talk to Him. And we talk to Him through prayer. Seems easy enough. But, like any other New Year's resolution, though we start with good intentions and dedication, odds are at some point our desire will start to wane. Why? Because sometimes it smees what we're doing isn't working. The same is true of prayer: We don't always get the outdome we want. Yet in Matthew 7, we're given a promise: Ask and it will be given to you. So does the Bible get it wrong? Message by Mike Van ReesScripture referenced: Matthew 7:7–11
