S. Luke 11:9-10 (NIV) “So I say unto you; 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; the one who seeks finds; and the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”
O. Jesus is teaching on prayer. After giving them a model of prayer (that is often referred to as the Lord’s prayer), Jesus teaches about being persistent in prayer. He says we are to ask, seek and knock and when we do, what we ask will be given, what we seek, we will find, and when we knock, the door that is closed will be opened.
When our hearts are aligned with God’s heart – He says “YES” to our prayers.
A. God is a giver of good gifts. He is a giver. He loves us and wants to bless us. He wants to say “yes” to us. The last few days He has reminded me of this. I need to align my heart with His. So, I pray and ask for things that He wants and when I do, He says “YES” – He gives. He blesses. He rewards.
P. Thank you Lord for reminding me that you love to give. You love to bless. You love to reward. Holy Spirit fill me and guide me to be in alignment with the Father’s heart so that the prayer I pray will truly be effective – in Jesus’ name.
