Matthew 7:7-11
7“12Ask, and 3it will be given to you; 4seek, and you will find; 5knock, and it will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9Or what man is there among you 6who, when his son asks for a loaf, 7will give him a stone? 10Or 8if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? 11If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, 9how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!
