Knocking on my door


Teach us how to pray, the Apostles asked. And Jesus did. Jesus prayed before every miracle, before every decision, and he taught his followers how to pray.

The power of prayer and the love of the Father for us, his adopted children is our true faith. And what a spectacular prayer Jesus has given us to pray. It is a prayer to honor God the Father, to thank him for everything he has ever given us. It is a prayer asking for guidance, deliverance and forgiveness.

The Bible tells us to pray always and Jesus tells us to go into our hearts, our inner rooms, close the door and pray. But, we need to be persistent in prayer, pray as often as we can with a heart focused on God.  

Jesus told us something else. He said, “knock and the door will be open to you” He said, “seek and you will find, and ask and it will be given to you”. Yes, we knock, we seek and we will find the Kingdom of God, but only through persistence.

God says knock, he doesn’t say tap, God says seek, he doesn’t say peek, God says ask, he doesn’t say wish. When we pray, we believe, we surrender, and we put our prayer in God’s hands. Praise God always.
