Christ Urges Seeking Prayers
Jesus claimed to be the Messiah,
the king of the Jews. And Matthew
5 to 7 traditionally called the
Sermon on the Mount, essentially
presents His statement of heaven.
Relationship to God (not adherence
to ritual) and our inward attitude
(not outward action) become
the focus of Christ’s message.
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, I come to You in faith, believing
You are God, and that You reward
those who diligently Seek You.
You’ve declared 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 & anticipate
it being opened by You. 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 God without
Faith. We Believe Lord in Your Goodness; and we come to You, believing not only You exist
but also believing You Will
Reward those who seek You.
And that the Father desires
to give good things to those
who ask Him. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
