Sometimes Christians walk away too soon from their prayer rooms with the Lord. They ask the Lord once or twice for whatever it is they are wanting from Him – and when He does not answer their prayer off their initial request, they walk away thinking that He does not want to answer their prayer – not realizing that maybe the Lord was really wanting to answer their prayer in the first place, but that He was wanting them to go into some kind of seeking and/or knocking mode to get Him to release it to them.
So the next time you approach the Lord in prayer for something very specific, make sure that you consider all three of these conditions – asking, seeking, and knocking.

For those of you who have established a good inside connection to the Holy Spirit, many of the times you can pick it up directly from Him as to which of the three modes you will need to go into on a specific prayer request to the Lord.
Sometimes you will be able to read and pick it up from Him that all you will need to do is ask God one or two times, and you will not need to go into any kind of seeking and/or knocking mode to get God to answer your prayer. However, there will be other times that you will feel led to go into a seeking mode with God before He will grant the answer to your prayer.
And not only will the Holy Spirit help to let you know when you will need to go into some kind of seeking mode with God, but He will also help guide and direct you once you go into that seeking mode so you can learn everything that God will want teach you, and then eventually get to where God wants to lead you to before He will be willing to grant the prayer request.

For those of you who have yet to establish this kind of good inner connection with the Holy Spirit, just simply ask God, if He has not already answered your prayer request within a certain amount of time, if you need to go into any kind of seeking and/or knocking mode with Him before He will grant your prayer request. If you ask God with a sincere heart, He will let you know loud and clear as to whether or not you will need to only go in one of these modes with Him, in any two of these modes, or possibly in all three of these modes with Him. Be encouraged to pray and listen! God is hearing you out! Pray earnestly without ceasing.
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." - Matthew 7:7
