Knock, knock... 1-8-13

Today's One Year Bible had the following verse that I thought was very appropriate for us on the Thrive Team who are in a season of prayer and fasting called Awake 21.  More about that later, but for now, here's the verse -  Matthew 7:8 

 

For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.


Over the past few months, I have been trying to explain to Emma the concept of a knock, knock joke.  I think that the process has been more hilarious  than the actual jokes.  As simple  as the jokes are, the 4 yr old brain just doesn't seem to get it.  I wonder if it's the same for us?  When it comes to prayer, do we make it harder than it is?  Is it possible that it's as simple as a knock knock joke?

 

Let's find out, shall we?  Will you join me in Awake 21?

 

 

My Prayer for Today:  Lord, we know your promise to us is so simple: ask, seek & knock.  May we believe with childlike faith that you are a God who longs to answer prayer.  

 

Amen
