Day Of Prayer - July 2026

Prayer requests, praise reports & monthly devotional

Urgent Prayers Needed For The Field in all regions:

MONTHLY DEVOTIONAL

Knock Until the Door Opens!

“7 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you shall find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door is opened.” —Matt. 7:7-8 (NIV).

In this text, Jesus teaches three essential steps in prayer – ask, seek, and knock. In praying, we should ask, make known our requests to our Heavenly Father. The second step is seeking or pursuing what we ask of our Heavenly Father. And lastly, we should knock the door until it opens. The Greek words used for the words “Ask, seek and knock,” in our text, implies continuous action.
