Let us consider Matthew 7 v 7- 8 ,which is all about prayer, Asking,seeking, and knocking, one can raise so many aspects as regards prayer,prayer is not all about asking,but asking comes into it a lot.As we consider those three aspects mentioned they gave the impression of keeping at it,of not giving up,hanging in there.We are to be serious about it,and earnest about it,and not limiting God,for there is nothing to hard for Him for Him to do,but all things must fall within His will.Ask, that seems simple it is not always multiplying words,when Peter began to sink in the sea,Matthew 14 v30, he cried out three simple words,' Lord , save me',and He did just that.Prayer must not just be for emergencies ,Corrie Ten Boom said,'Is prayer your steering wheel or you spare tyre? ' So lets consider the asking ,seeking ,knocking, I will simple say this one thing, just do it,put it into practice.God delights to hear His children pray, our Lord is encouraging us to pray,and stresses God's willingness to answer our prayers. In v 9- 11 He speaks how a father will give what his children ask,how much more will our loving heavenly grant to us what we ask.
My soul, ask what thou wilt,
Thou canst not be to bold,
Since His own blood for thee He spilt,
What else can He withhold?
Words John Newton.
