Titled: Ask, Seek, and Knock

Intro

Can prayer unlock doors that seem shut? Will you keep seeking until heaven responds? 

📖 Scripture

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” — Matthew 7:7, NKJV

Jesus was teaching His disciples about prayer and trust. He wanted them to understand that God is a Father who responds. Asking represents faith. Seeking represents pursuit. Knocking represents persistence. Each step shows deeper engagement with God. Jesus assured them that heaven is not silent. God hears, God responds, and God opens doors.

Prophetic Life Insights

Here is what this means for you today:

• Asking is the beginning of faith. You must speak your need.

• Seeking requires effort. You must pursue God’s presence.

• Knocking is persistence. You must keep pressing until the door opens.

• God responds to hunger. He rewards those who seek Him.

• Closed doors are not denials. They are invitations to knock.

• Prayer is a journey. Each stage draws you closer to God’s heart.

      Call to Action 

1. Seek Challenge: Dedicate time today to seek God in Scripture. Highlight one verse that speaks directly to your situation.

2. Knocking Act: Choose one breakthrough you desire. Each morning this week, knock symbolically on a door in your house while declaring: “Lord, open this door in my life.”

 Prayer

Father, I thank You for the invitation to ask, seek, and knock. I will not be silent. I will not be passive. I will press into Your presence. I will trust Your timing. Open doors that no man can shut. Reveal Yourself as I seek You. Answer me as I ask. Let persistence bring breakthrough. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
