Daily Prayer: February 26, 2015

Matthew 7:7 “Ask, and it will be given you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” Father in heaven, so many of Your children are out of work. They want Your guidance to a job that will enable them to provide for the needs of their family. We know that You can direct them in their search.

To ask of You, Father, is to acknowledge our dependence upon You for You give us the very breath of life.

To seek without Your direction leads us to dead ends. To knock on doors of opportunity without Your blessing is futile.

So today, we claim the holy promise that if we in the context of prayer and submission will ask – we will receive. If we will seek – we will find. And if we knock – the door to the future will be opened.

We pray this in the name and for the glory of Jesus who taught us this truth.

Amen.
