A House That Prays Part 3: Keep Knocking (Matthew 7:7-12)

Is it right for us to come with an expectant attitude when we're praying, especially when we're asking God for things? Is it rude for us to keep asking him for the same things? The answers to these questions have a lot to do with motive, of course, but Jesus' words are very clear: "Ask and it will be given to you. Seek and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened," We are intended and instructed to ask, seek, and knock, and this is a significant part of the way our Father trains and matures us as His children. Expecting, persisting, trusting, and partnering with God are all a part of a healthy life of prayer.
