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. (Matthew 7:7-8 NKJV)
This passage of Scripture is not for us to quote, snap our fingers, and expect the Lord to move like a genie. We, the people of God, sometimes misunderstand and then misuse the text; later, we get discouraged when we don’t see the results we desired because it feels like God isn’t answering our prayers or He’s moving too slowly.
