Day 16

Ask, and the gift is yours. Seek, and you’ll discover. Knock, and the door will be opened for you. For every persistent one will get what he asks for. Every persistent seeker will discover what he longs for. And everyone who knocks persistently will one day find an open door.

Matthew 8:7-8 (TPT)

Our daughter keeps us on our toes. We learned early on not to say anything we don’t mean when it comes to her. She remembers everything and she doesn’t let up until we do what we said we would do. If we say we were going to buy her something, she reminds us hourly until we do. She keeps us honest, that’s for sure.

Ask. Seek. Knock. These words were written in the present continuous tense. In other words, it could say: “Ask and keep on asking.” “Seek repeatedly.” “Don’t stop knocking.”

That’s what we’re doing during these 28 days for the lost in the city of Warren. We may not have seen any changes yet, but we aren’t going to stop asking until we do. That’s what God expects of us. That’s what He needs from us. So that’s what we’ll do.

Let’s pray together.

PRAYER POINTS FOR ME

• Father, help me not grow weary in prayer when I don’t see any change on the outside.
• Father, help me care about the souls of others enough to not stop praying for them.
• Father, thank You for the people who prayed for me until my heart softened to You. Help me be that person for the lost in the city of Warren.

TODAY’S PRAYER FOR THE LOST IN WARREN, OHIO

Father, I ask You to soften the hearts of every Lost person in the city of Warren. Every time I pray, I thank You that You continue to reveal Yourself to them. Help them see Your goodness and respond to Your love. In Jesus’ Name. Amen!

We will see you back here tomorrow to pray together again.
