Jesus doesn’t sell a vending-machine God. He invites persistence: ask, seek, knock. Those verbs move from voice to legs to knuckles; desire that walks to the door and keeps rapping. Stuck prayer often needs a shift from vague to specific, from occasional to rhythmic. Asking is honest; seeking is active; knocking is bold. And notice the promise lands on God’s character, not our technique: it will be opened to you. Doors open in His timing, and sometimes He opens us first — expanding our trust, purifying motives, or redirecting requests into richer answers.

• Write one specific prayer for this week.
• Attach a simple rhythm: 7:00am / 12:30pm / 9:30pm—60 seconds each.
• When the urge to quit hits, knock once more: a single sentence, “Father, I’m here again.”

Father, teach me to keep asking, seeking, and knocking. Open the right doors and close the wrong ones. Make my heart steady as I wait. Amen.
