We see in the above verse taken from The Sermon on the Mount, that fewer words were ever spoken more wonderfully; yet they are confirmed every day by devoted disciples of Christ (Psalm 116:1).
By way of our asking, seeking, and knocking we reveal our desires; and desire is the key of heaven. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled" (Matthew 5:6).
We must not hold back from asking for whatever we truly desire. Neither should we keep from seeking what we know is infinitely precious.
And we can always, with full confidence, knock at the door that stands between us and the object of our loving affection. "What is your petition?... It will be given you" (Esther 7:2).
Scripture: Jeremiah 33:3; Matthew 21:22; John 14:13-14; James 1:5; Colossians 3:17
Prayer:
Father, I ask for thy tender kindness, which is better than life itself.
Son of God, I seek thy grace, which in weakness makes me strong.
Holy Spirit, I knock at the door which is always opened to the humble and broken heart.
May all they mercies and my frailties compel me to never stop asking until You have given, to seek without fail until I have found, and to knock without fear until it has been opened. Amen.
Grace and blessings,
LeeAnne
