God Rewards Those Who Seek
Backgrounder on Matthew 5-7:
Jesus claimed to be the Messiah,
the king of the Jews. And this
section traditionally called the
Sermon on the Mount, focuses
on Relationship to God and our
inward attitude towards Him.
Lord, we will Ask, Seek & Knock:
Ask and it will be given to you;
seek and you will find; knock and
the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks receives;
he who seeks finds; and to him
who knocks, the door will be
opened (Matt 7:7-8). If you then,
being evil, know how to give
good gifts to your children, how
much more will your Father who
is in heaven give good things to
those who Ask Him (v11). Amen.
Lord Jesus, I come to You in faith,
believing You are God, and that
You reward those who diligently
Seek You. Your Word says You
desire to give good gifts to those
who Ask for them. I Ask that the
desires of my heart be aligned
with Your will so that they will
come to pass. And I Knock on
the door of opportunity for my life
and anticipate it being opened
by You. In Your name, Amen.
Lord, thank You for Your promise
that those who ask receive and
that when we seek, we will find.
Grant me the grace to Persevere,
to Keep On Asking, seeking and
knocking until the answer comes.
Thank you for the power & grace
of Your Spirit, who gives me the
strength to Persevere In Prayer
even when I am at my weakest
moment & felt like giving up. Amen.
Lord, the Bible tells us that it is
impossible to please You without
Faith. All our doing amounts to
nothing, (including serving others
and keeping all kinds of rules)
if we do not have Faith in You,
and we cannot please You at all.
Lord we Believe in You God and
Your Goodness. And we come to
You, believing not only You exist
but even more, believing You Will
Reward those who seek You. Amen.
