Those who ask will receive answers. Those who seek will find. Those who knock will have the door opened. The acrostic “A-S-K” will help us remember to “ask, seek, and knock.” Our heavenly Father wants us to pray, not only because it honors Him but also because communicating helps us grow closer to Him. What’s more, prayer connects us to His work in the world. You can pray for anyone anywhere and have confidence that the God of the entire universe will hear you and answer. For this reason, prayer is one of the best ways to get involved in kingdom work. What a wonderful privilege it is to be able to participate in God’s mission by asking Him to help His children and impact His creation. Another reason the Lord instructs us to pray is to build our faith in Him. Even sinful men give gifts to their children. How much more does our God enjoy giving good gifts to those who ask Him (Matt. 7:11)! The Lord also loves to answer our prayers and see us grow bolder in our walk and witness. God’s Word tells us that He is faithful because “He cannot deny Himself” (2 Timothy 2:13). Be certain to set aside time every day to speak with and listen to Him. Then you will learn this truth firsthand. (In Touch)

Given the pro-privacy stance of the platform, it’s taken as a given that it’ll be used for a number of reasons, not all of them good. And Telegram has been attached to a fair few scandals related to terrorism, sexual exploitation and crime. Back in 2015, Vox described Telegram as “ISIS’ app of choice,” saying that the platform’s real use is the ability to use channels to distribute material to large groups at once. Telegram has acted to remove public channels affiliated with terrorism, but Pavel Durov reiterated that he had no business snooping on private conversations. Official government accounts have also spread fake fact checks. An official Twitter account for the Russia diplomatic mission in Geneva shared a fake debunking video claiming without evidence that "Western and Ukrainian media are creating thousands of fake news on Russia every day." The video, which has amassed almost 30,000 views, offered a "how-to" spot misinformation. Channels are not fully encrypted, end-to-end. All communications on a Telegram channel can be seen by anyone on the channel and are also visible to Telegram. Telegram may be asked by a government to hand over the communications from a channel. Telegram has a history of standing up to Russian government requests for data, but how comfortable you are relying on that history to predict future behavior is up to you. Because Telegram has this data, it may also be stolen by hackers or leaked by an internal employee. Messages are not fully encrypted by default. That means the company could, in theory, access the content of the messages, or be forced to hand over the data at the request of a government. On Feb. 27, however, he admitted from his Russian-language account that "Telegram channels are increasingly becoming a source of unverified information related to Ukrainian events."
