3. Knock = Open
Key Theme:
Prayer is an invitation to seek God’s will with humility, trust, and discernment, because our Father is good and desires to give us what is best, especially Himself.
Key Application:
Approach God in prayer with humility and trust, not asking for what you think you need, but for what aligns with His will, seeking His kingdom, His wisdom, and His presence above all else.
Key Verses:
Matthew 7:7-8 “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 the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.”
Key Questions:
1. What am I truly asking God for, and do my requests reflect trust in His wisdom or just my personal desires?
2. What am I seeking most in my life right now, and is it aligned with God’s kingdom, character, and purposes?
3. Do I trust that God is a good Father even when He doesn’t give me what I ask for?
Sermon Scripture for next week: Read Matthew 7:12

Church family, we praise God for how faithfully in so many respects you give. Our church family is undeniably generous, but we still have great needs for supplication. We ask that you give joyfully, faithfully and sacrificially in response to how our great God and Savior has given to us.
