Ask seek knock; Seeking the kingdom; seeking God's heart, face, person - the conflict of seeking the kingdom, pray. Jesus, teach us to pray - simple, few words, easy? Our God is good, and knows how to give good gifts to His children. Goodness is not just a characteristic of God, it is who He is - in so, God, being good, does good, and cannot, not do good. So when it says that we are to “ask, seek and knock” it is not necessarily a prayer, but an invitation, an invitation to His heart, His person - this call to ask, seek and knock is an extension of His love - by mercy and grace - He beckons us to call, and promises that He will be found (Matt 7).
