Ask
First, Jesus tells them to ask. If you don’t ask you will not get. It is taking our requests and needs to God, and presenting them before Him. This is the first step to prayer. The simplest and easiest level, is to ask. Asking is a straight forward verbal communication when the person is in front of you and you can see him to ask him. This might mean that there are certain needs which require a mere asking to be immediately and regularly met. Simply ask, that is all, ask, and immediately the answer is given. Jesus says ask and it shall be given.
