Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened (Matthew 7:7-8; NIV).
Some days, when I awake, my God,
I open wide the door to prayer,
Slipping inside
To sit beside your fire.
Some days, when I awake, my God,
I knock upon the door to prayer,
Waiting with faith and hope
To see your face.
Some days, when I awake, my God,
I hammer on the door to prayer,
Pleading without response:
You are not there!
Some days, when I awake, my God,
There is no door, no prayer, no faith,
No hope. Yet all’s not lost:
For you are here.
My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? (Psalm 22:1; NLT).
The LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it (Genesis 28:16; NIV).
In all their suffering he also suffered (Isaiah 63:9; NLT).
