STOP: Lord, where is my heart today?
LOOK: Lord, help me discover new truth from your Word today.

You want something and do not have it; so you commit murder. And you covet something and cannot obtain it; so you engage in disputes and conflicts. You do not have, because you do not ask.

Therefore, to keep me from being too elated, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me, to keep me from being too elated. Three times I appealed to the Lord about this, that it would leave me, but he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” So, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

‭‭‭‭‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭7‬-‭9‬ ‭NRSV‬‬V‬‬

Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.

‭‭‭‭‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭7‬ ‭NRSV‬‬‬‬‬‬

RESPOND:
