Mat 7:7 (NIV) Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

God is inviting us to establish a constant relationship with Him. He is incredibly brilliant. We never know but what He might be able to come up with a plan that exceeds our greatest expectations. When we fail to get the answer we are looking for, it can be for a lot of reasons. Some of the reasons can be because God doesn’t want us to have what we are asking for. But, we often don’t know all the reasons God is turning us down.

As we keep coming to Him, He will start showing us what His plan is. If He shows us that our request is not a good thing, then we need to accept it. If we try to force our will on Him, He can punish us by letting us have what we are demanding. But, as in Jesus’ case, if we keep coming to Him and asking for the same thing, it will open the door for Him to show us what is holding the answer up.
