Recently we were out shopping and saw this sign sitting outside a store. It reminded me of a Finish Friday post. I am sure we can apply this to a lot of areas in our lives. What about our prayer life?

Take a moment to really meditate on Matthew 7:7-8 NIV; ““Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”

I am a huge Mark Batterson fan. He is a Pastor and Author of Circle Maker. In that book he encourages us to pray and dream big. God knows the desires of our hearts but He wants us to seek Him. He wants us to have a relationship with Him. He wants us to ask Him for what we desire. Obviously God is not a genie in a bottle. Sometimes there will be closed doors or not yets. Many times there will be doors. We must be intentional with our prayers and seek His will always.

On this Finish Friday I encourage you to follow through. Maybe you need to initiate a new prayer. Maybe God has opened a door and He is waiting for you to walk through. Maybe He has already closed a door. Maybe you need to keep circling that need. Stay faithful in prayer. God is always working behind the scenes.
