Today’s Passage

“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.” -Matthew 7:7-8

Today’s Prayer

Heavenly Father,
Today I ask, seek, and knock.
Give me the confidence to know
that You hear and answer my prayers.
Every prayer that I utter
reaches Your throne room.
You’ve made a promise to me
that everyone who asks receives
and everyone who seeks finds.
I’m unashamedly asking for Your help today.
I bring the heavy burdens
and the situations I can’t change,
and I hand them fully over to You.
Do what only You can do.
I will seek Your face because
Your presence is the pathway to my joy.
Draw me into Your loving kindness
and warm embrace.
I will knock on the doors of heaven,
knowing You wish to hear my petitions.
I am asking, seeking, and knocking
to receive the gifts, but more importantly
to be received by the giver.
