Bible Commentary

Matthew 7:7

This is one of the greatest promises about prayer in the whole Bible. God is not distant or reluctant — He is a welcoming Father who wants us to come to Him.

Memory phrase: Ask, seek, knock

Talk about it: What is the difference between asking, seeking, and knocking? Can you explain each one?

Prayer: God, I am asking. I am seeking. I am knocking. Thank You for always opening the door to me.
