"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and those who seeks find, and to the one who knocks it will be opened." Matthew 7:7-8
~excerpts from "Morning and Evening" by Charles Spurgeon
"When at any time you have had high and rapturous joys, you have been obliged to look upon them as answers to your prayers. When you have had great deliverances out of sore troubles and might help in great dangers, you have been able to say, 'I sought the Lord, and He answered me and delivered me from all my fears.' Prayer is always the preface to blessing.
Prayer is thus connected with the blessing to show us the value of it. If we had the blessings without asking for them, we should think them common things; but prayer makes our mercies more precious than diamonds. The things we ask for are precious, but we do not realize their preciousness until we have sought them earnestly."
