Too many people are satisfied with life just as it is. The supreme tragedy of many people’s lives is that they want so little and are satisfied with almost nothing.  It is sad when people have no great dreams and high hopes, no burning desires and lofty ambitions.  I believe that when some great need comes into the life of any person, he or she will naturally pray.  To one who has need of prayer Jesus said, “Ask- seek-knock.”  The better translation of the Greek is “Keep on asking-keep on seeking-keep on knocking.” Next Sunday we will look at what Jesus tells us in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 7:7-11) about our need for persistence in prayer.
