What do I usually ask, seek and knock for, from God? “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you” (Jn 15:16) God has sent us on a mission.

When we say yes to His will in our daily lives we receive what we need. “Seek first his kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be given to you.” (Mt 6:33) As we seek God in our prayer time, in the Word of God, Sacraments and life experiences we become right with Him and His kingdom is manifested among us. When we do not find Him let us persevere in fasting and prayer, like queen Esther. Wrestle with God like Jacob. Through repentance we can receive power from on high. Filled with the Holy Spirit, we knock or rather tap into heaven for those who are placed in our lives. “Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.” (Jn 14:12)

Prayer: Abba Father, I ask for and seek your Kingdom. As I knock on the door,open to me the gates of heaven. Amen.
