Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth(Matthew 7:7-8)
Only when there is a sense of neediness we do ASK, why would one ask when there is no need? Around 11 years ago I asked God for a child although married for only 3 months! There was a specific incident that led to it, not in the mood to come out with it, will save it for another time! Something's don't come my way without needing, without asking and knocking. It was a time that I recognized I needed to follow God's plan and started to pray rather labor in prayer. As in this verse when we are awakened to pray God will promise with an answer. After a year we were blessed with a healthy boy weighing 3750grams on a December 7th. There are several such prayers that each of us will have to share:) Everyone who asks will receive!
There might be times when we haven't found the answer or we seem to be still knocking at a closed door and God hasn't answered, do not give up. Just believe God will either give us what we have been asking for, or he will give something better. No one will go away disappointed in praying although we may have to linger there for a long time. What are you thankful for today?
