“Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you.” — Matthew 7:7 HCSB
This verse reminds us of the persistent nature of prayer and the importance of faith in our daily lives. When we seek, we are actively engaging with God, expressing our needs, desires, and hopes. It’s an invitation to come to Him with our questions and uncertainties. The promise isn’t just that we will receive what we ask for, but that the act of asking, seeking, and knocking builds a deeper relationship with our Creator. As we remain diligent in our pursuit, we align our hearts with His will, discovering the treasures of His wisdom and grace.
Let us be encouraged not to grow weary or discouraged. God is listening, and His timing is perfect. Every prayer is a step closer to understanding His purpose for us.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of prayer and the assurance that You hear us. Help us to be persistent in seeking You, to ask boldly, and to knock with faith. Strengthen our hearts when we feel discouraged or when answers seem delayed. Teach us to trust in Your timing and to recognize that sometimes, the journey of seeking is as valuable as the answer itself. May we draw closer to You with every question, knowing You invite us into a deeper relationship. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
