Ask, Seek, Knock

Ask Seek Knock 06/04/2025 - Zeke Murley Luke 11:1–13 | The Way of Prayer Perception of Prayer “Lord, teach us to pray…” (v.1) Why do you pray the way you do? Is your view of God shaping your prayer life—or is your experience shaping your view of God? Could it be that what you believe about who you pray to matters more than how you pray? Persistence in Prayer “Give us each day…” (v.3) What are you reaching for when life gets hard—a prescription or persistence? Do you want solutions more than you want to walk with the Solution-Giver? Could the daily repetition of prayer be God’s gift, not His delay? Posture in Prayer “I have nothing to set before him…” (v.6) Are you coming to God with demands, or with dependence? What if God isn’t looking for strength in your prayers, but surrender? Can you have the right words, the right discipline… and still the wrong heart? Promise of Prayer “How much more will the Father give the Holy Spirit…” (v.13) What if the thing you’re asking for isn’t really what your soul needs? What if God answers every prayer—by giving you more of Himself? Is it possible you’ve been knocking on the wrong door? Questions to Sit With This Week What do I really want when I pray? Do I see prayer as access to God, or access to answers? Have I mistaken God’s silence for His absence? Would I be satisfied with getting what I asked for—but not getting more of Him?
