Text: Matthew 7:1-11
The Bible encourages us to be persistent in prayer (v.7). Many people do not pursue God; they try a few times in prayer and then they give up, claiming that God does not answer prayers. Let us trust God’s Word for it is God’s will for us!
Our hero and good example at working hard in prayer is Jesus Christ, God Himself. He prayed much, all the time, sometimes with people (John 11:41-42), sometimes alone (Mark 1:35). Remember prayer does not change God’s mind, it changes us and aligns us with His will.
Meditate on verse 7. How are you going to apply it to your life?
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, give me the grace to seek You earnestly.
Amen.
