"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." Matthew 7:7-8 (NIV)
Stand on God's promise in the scripture above. He hears and responds when we bring our requests before Him. Each of us needs endurance that only God can provide during this process.

“You may say to yourself, ‘My power and strength of my hands have produced wealth for me.’ But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today. If you ever forget the LORD your God and follow other gods and worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely be destroyed. Like the nations the LORD destroyed before you, so you will be destroyed for not obeying the LORD your God.” Deuteronomy 8:17-20 (NIV)
May we patiently wait on the Lord in this process. Trusting that He is at work in ways that we cannot see or orchestrate.
