” Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8
It is so important that when we go to our Lord in prayer, we understand that our Lord works on his time schedule and his time schedule alone. We are very plainly told that we are to ask, seek and knock. When we approach the Lord, we are doing so because we trust his promises. Hebrews 11:6 tell us “For he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” We are to seek him, ask him and keep knocking until we find him. We are to do so with persistence. When we believe in something we never give up. We stay the course until our mission is accomplished. We must do the same with our Lord. Our God wants us to be persistent in our efforts and never wants us to be lazy and give up. He wants us to strive for his best and believe that we are going to receive the best. We must be reminded that there is nothing better than our Lord God. He is the best and gives only the best. It is worth being effortless in our prayers and reminding God of his promises. He tells us that when we ask, we receive. When we seek, we find and when we knock the door will be open to us. I don’t know about you, but I do know that I can sometimes be very impatient. It is at those times that the Lord reminds me that he is working in my behalf and that his time is the best time. I am reminded to be persistent and never give up! When I go to the Lord, I believe I will receive, and I must continue to pray to him consistently until his answer is realized. It may immediately or it may take much longer. However, our Lord never fails us and will always give us what we need within his will. Remember, stay persistent in your prayer life and never give up! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
