… About Asking
God will either give us what we ask for in prayer
or give us what we would have asked for if we knew everything God knows.
Tim Keller
We are closer to God when we are asking questions than when we think we have the answers.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
Powerful things happen when we ask God for directions
instead of telling Him where we’d like to go.

… About Seeking
God being who He is must always be sought for Himself,
never as a means toward something else.
A. W. Tozer
The humble shall see their God at work for them. No wonder they will be so glad!
All who seek for God shall live in joy.
For Jehovah hears the cries of his needy ones and does not look the other way.
Psalm 69:32-33 Living Bible

… About Knocking
“We are to ask with a beggar’s humility,
to seek with a servant’ carefulness,
and to knock with the confidence of a friend.”

God’s a safe-house for the battered, a sanctuary during bad times.
The moment you arrive, you relax; you’re never sorry you knocked.
Psalm 9:9-10 The Message

… About Doors
Don’t fight the doors you are led to. Take a deep breath and go through. (unknown)
