The Beauty of Asking Questions (Christian View)

From a Christian stand point, I firmly believe that God loves when we call upon Him to ask why, how and what questions. He invites us everyday to come to Him with whatever questions we have and certainly there are answers that await the response. The way in which most people communicate to God most is through prayer which most prayers are often questions of sorts.

There are plenty of verses of scripture that emphasize and encourage asking questions and most promise answers. From any standpoint there is no fear or shame in asking questions; questions are our greatest tool in life I firmly believe.

Here are some of my favorite scriptures I turn to when I am struggling with pride and not asking for help

Mark 11:24
"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours"

Matthew 7:7-11 **All Time Favorite**
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
