Today’s Promise
September 4, 2024
Doors Open When You Ask, Seek, and Knock
So I say to you, 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 he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened.
Luke 11:9-10
Keep Praying
Do you give up too soon in prayer? If so, today’s promise is for you.
This promise is one of those Bible verses we all know but rarely practice. It’s a great verse to frame and put on the wall, but a better verse to live.
Prayer is not a one-time act. It’s not just saying a prayer and then moving on with life. Jesus tells us to ask and then keep on asking, to seek and keep on seeking, to knock and keep on knocking.
Keep Knocking
When you keep asking, seeking, and knocking, you have the promise that God will hear and answer your prayer.
If you have prayed about an issue and don’t have an answer, keep praying. A pastor friend used to say that when it comes to prayer, we should “PUSH – Pray – Until – Something – Happens.”
We give up too soon in prayer. We bring our request to the Lord once and expect the heavens to open and angels to descend with our answer. Jesus promises to reward those who will not give up in prayer. Those who refuse to stop knocking until the door is opened.
God is Not Reluctant
God is not reluctant or waiting for you to convince Him to answer your prayer. As a loving Father, He wants to bring good things into your life and meet your every need.
Sometimes, spiritual warfare must take place, and God’s timing has to be fulfilled. Daniel had to wait 21 days for his prayer to be answered. A heavenly battle had to be fought and won for the answer to come.
No matter what you are praying about today, keep on asking, seeking, and knocking. God’s answer is on the way.
Look at that promise again.
So I say to you, 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 he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened. – Luke 11:9-10
Make these confessions.
- I know God is answering my prayer.
- When I ask, seek, and knock, I receive, find, and the door opens.
- I will not give up in prayer but will continue to ask, seek, and knock.
- I will pray until something happens.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen
Don’t give up in prayer. Keep seeking, asking, and knocking. God’s answer is just around the corner.

What are you asking, seeking, and knocking for today? (Share it in the comment section below.)
I am seeking God for my health and well being and for my lonelynress since my has. Passed away .
I am seeking God’s approval and guidance to buy a car
I have found these words of Jesus to be very practical: keep asking, keep knocking, and keep seeking and the answer will come. I pray for the eyes of our people to be opened to God’s Truth.
