Luke 11:9-10 ” Ask and it will be given to 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.”

In this Chapter of Luke, Jesus is teaching His disciples. It had started with the disciples asking Him how to pray, and Jesus teaching them what we now know as the Lord’s Prayer. But the instruction didn’t stop there. For here Jesus breaks prayer down into God’s responsibilities and ours. He also emphasized the importance to pray not just talk about praying. We are to ask, seek, and knock…and in return, God promises that if we do, we will receive, find, and doors will be opened for us. Though the three things we always need to remember about prayer is to bring sincerity, reverence, and humility with us…and at the same time coming to Him in willful submission and trust, that God will hear our prayers and will answer in accordance with His Divine Will.
