Free Matthew 7:7 Coloring Page – Ask & You Shall Be Given

Description

This printable colouring page features the verse “Ask and it will be given to you. Matthew 7:7” — a key teaching from the Sermon on the Mount. It invites children to engage with the promise of prayer, seeking, and discovery in a fun, colourful, creative way. Ideal for Sunday School, children’s ministry, homeschool, or a quiet faith-time activity.

What’s inside

Here’s what children will find and explore on the sheet:

• Large bold lettering of the main phrase: “Ask and it will be given to you. Matthew 7:7” — easy to read, trace & colour.

• A graphic of an open door or doorway (symbolising “knock” / “open door”) with rays of light behind it — a visual cue for the promise of entry, welcome, discovery.

• Simple outlines (door, rays, clouds or ground) that match young-child or elementary colouring skill levels.

• Space around the main images for children to personalise: e.g., colour the sun rays, add their name, add doodles or stickers.

Why it’s useful

• Reinforces Scripture memory & understanding: Children see the verse in large print, colour it, and internalise its words.

• Encourages reflection & discussion: The verse invites talk about what it means to ask, to seek, to knock — and how this relates to prayer and a relationship with God.

• Supports fine-motor skills and creativity: Colouring helps children practise attention, detail, and creative expression.

• Works well for mixed ages: Younger kids focus on colouring; older kids can add a small journalling prompt: “What will I ask/seek today?”

• Great for classroom or home: Use in a faith-lesson, as an independent activity, or as a take-home sheet for further reflection.

How to use it

1. Print the worksheet on standard A4 or letter paper.

2. Introduce the verse: Have the children read aloud (or you read) Matthew 7:7 — “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”

3. Colour time: Let children choose colours for the door, the light, rays, background, clouds or ground. Encourage them to fill the large letters too.

4. Reflection / discussion prompt: After colouring, ask:

   • What does it mean to “ask” in the context of this verse?

   • What might we be “seeking”? What doors might we “knock” on?

   • Have you ever asked God for help or direction? What might you ask or seek this week?

5. Display or share: Hang the finished coloured pages in the classroom, hallway, or at home. This helps reinforce the message and encourages children to live it out.

6. Optional extension:

   • Ask children to write their own short prayer or a “knock-door” goal on the back of the sheet (for older kids).

   • Create a class-activity: Each child writes one thing they will ask God for, one area they will seek God’s guidance, and one door they might knock on (friendship, service, kindness).

   • Use this sheet alongside a mini-lesson about persistent prayer and God’s generosity.
