Only the Best from the Heavenly Father

If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? — Luke 11:11

The answer to Jesus’ question is obvious: no loving father would give a child a stone instead of bread, or a serpent instead of a fish. And if a child foolishly asks for a serpent, a wise father would never grant such a request.

In the same way, our heavenly Father gives us only what is good and what we truly need.

Jesus’ question encourages us to pray with confidence, trusting that our heavenly Father will provide us with good gifts, always for our benefit.
