The Promises of Prayer
"And I say unto you, ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." Luke 11:9-10
Notice the promise is repeated with the phrase "for every one".
Petition (ask) - Request expressed
Persistence (seek) - Response expected
Perseverance (knock) - Resolve exercised
Notice an increase in energy for the petitioner in each action. Yet there is also an corresponding increase in nearness to the provider.
