Matthew 7:7-11; Mark 11:24; Matthew 21:22

"When I lose such a thing as a key, I ask the Lord to direct me to it, and I look for an answer to my prayer."1
ILLUS: When I was attending college in Tennessee, I drove an old Chevrolet Caprice. It wasn't much to look at, but it got me where I was going. However, the time came when we needed another car. We began to pray.
As, we prayed, we decided that we needed something that was fuel-efficient. The year was 1980, and there was an energy crises going on. We had never owned a brand new car before, but the thought came into our minds that having something dependable might be a better idea than buying a used car and having to take the chance of spending money on repairs.
Kitty and I were impressed with the little Chevette hatchback. It was economical and had ample room for storage and luggage. We be ...
