Mark 7:24-30. Vs 26. She kept asking
Matt 7:7. Ask, seek and knock
D.L. Moody wrote Jesus cannot be expected to answer runaway knocks. He has never promised it. I mean to keep knocking, knocking, until he cannot help opening the door. Too often, we not get mercies door and then run away, instead of waiting for an Entrance and an answer. We act as if we were afraid of having our prayers answered. A great many people praying that way, they do not wait for the answer. Our Lord teaches us here that we are not only to ask, but we are to wait for the answer, if it does not come, we must seek to find out the reason. We are to ask with a beggars humility, to seek with a servants carefulness, and to knock with the confidence of a friend
Unanswered prayer should be followed up with a why? Where am I missing it?
