B. Seeking implies an active, persevering search for God's will and presence in our lives.
C. Knocking represents persistence and faith, trusting God to open doors in his perfect timing.
2. Humanity's fallen state often leads us to rely on our strength rather than seeking God's guidance.
A. We tend to prioritize self-sufficiency and ignore the power and wisdom of God.
B. The fall has left us in need of divine intervention, which is available through earnest prayer.
3. Transformation occurs as we align our hearts with God's will through consistent prayer.
A. Prayer reshapes desires and priorities, aligning them with God's perfect purpose (Romans 12:2 can be referenced here).
B. The act of persistent prayer strengthens our relationship with God, turning our hearts toward him.
