Lord, may all those who seek you this day find you, and find their strength in you, hear the prayers of those who fervently pray and be merciful.

Lord, you remind us to ask, seek, and knock, you remind us that if we seek you that we will find you, if we knock that doors will be opened for us, and if we ask of you and believe we shall receive. Many times we allow pride to get in the way, we allow our unruly minds to lead us astray, but today oh Lord, we realize that your promises are true and that you are faithful to the end, and that is why we come humbly before you this day as we know at times we are ignorant in our asking, but that you know our needs before we ask, and will grant them according to your will, so let us not become tired or weary as we wait for the things we ask, but continue to seek the things of God, to continue on in prayer and worship, and to draw from your strength which will sustain us. Help us O Lord, for Jesus Christ’s sake. Amen!
