“And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.” - Luke 11:9-10 (ESV)
Most of us have no problems coming up with lists of things we need. But finding help to satisfy those needs may be difficult. When Jesus was on this earth and teaching, he offered promises and directions that were specific to getting what we needed. Our verse today is one of those promises. It is really simple but it requires us to have faith. Jesus was describing how willing He was to help us. His instruction was, “Ask.” If we ask, it will be given to us and, “Knock.” If we need someone’s help and attention, we knock on their door and hope they open it. Jesus was telling the people that He was more willing to give what was needed and more willing to open the doors we knock on than an ordinary person who actually might have to be pestered and nagged a bit before they respond. Our Heavenly Father is more willing than our neighbors or friends to respond to our needs. If you ask for Jesus, you will receive Jesus and all you need. If you knock on a door, He will open the door to what you need.
