Matthew 7:7-8 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. The "ask" has a meaning in Greek that is continuing to ask for what is required and to keep on asking. Ask refers to the gift that needs to be given and to keep on asking. "Seek" is a word that is to seek after God and keep on seeking. We are to seek to know the Father. "Knock" speaks of entrance into God's dwelling place - an opening the door of fellowship to the Father.

This is the process of prayer:

• Asking - To ask but not only ask but to keep doing so. "Ask whatever you will and it will be done."
• Seeking - To seek the Giver, not just the gift.
• Knocking - To fellowship, communion, hang out, enjoy conversation, and sit in His presence. It's a great delight not just for us but for God as well.
