Matthew 6:7-8

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

To me, this scripture is another way of saying you get what you want. And wanting is an action. I always used to think it meant that what I ask for in my prayers will be given to me. That hasn't really been the case, unless those things are also what I strive for day by day. Praying for these things, it seems, has been more of a reflection on what I'm already seeking, rather than being the key to obtaining what I desire.
