Keep Praying and Asking - Luke 11

S - Luke 11:9 “And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
O - Jesus is intructing His disciples how to pray. following the Lord's prayer he talked about a man who had company and went to a friend to ask for a loaf of bread as he had nothing to eat for his company. This friend may not give him the bread as it was late and didn't want to get up, but Jesus said he would if the man was persistent enough. This is the same principle as prayer.
A - Many of my prayers have been "do what you want, Lord" which is good as we are to serve Him and follow His path. However, there are things that we need in life and there is nothing wrong with continually asking Him for these things. Thing like long life on the earth for us and our children, which He has promised, and putting the necessary people in front of us for our business are just two examples of things that we need to fulfill His desires for our lives.
P - God, you are always faithful and good. I praise you and stand in awe before you today and everyday. I pray that you would continue to protect my family and I and give us long life on this earth to accomplish everything that you have set out for us. I pray that you would give Christa and I wisdom to build strong children who will be even strong men and women. I pray that you would also give us strength and wisdom in building a very strong marriage. I pray also that you would continue to bless us and help us to build this business that you have set out for us so that we may be able to spread your word and hope with many people.
