How persistent are you in asking God for an answer to your prayer?  Do you ask Him once and never again or do you ask repeatedly. In Luke 11.9-13, Jesus tells us to ask, seek, and knock.  However after a study of the three verbs we find that continuous action is meant and not one time and done.  In other words He is telling us to ask and keep on asking, seek and keep on seeking, knock and keep on knocking.  Our persistence shows Him how desperate we are to know His answer.

For the past eleven months we have prayed (asking, seeking, knocking) for a new place of ministry; a church to pastor, a church family to love, and a community to invest ourselves in.  That is what He has called us to be and to do.  I cannot explain God’s ways or His timing, but I am convinced that He has a plan and when the time is right He will reveal that to us.  We have no reason not to trust Him because He has never let us down nor disappointed us and we know He never will.  Until He opens the door, we will keep on asking, seeking, and knocking.
