Matthew 7:7-9 "For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."

The following verse talks about how a father would give his child only things that were good for him. In your prayers you should find God transforming your heart, your focus, and you will realize what he wants you to really focus on. He has a plan, when you ask and knock the door opens so you can understand what God is really doing. Sometimes we pray and can't hear anything because our minds are divided. We all get that way. One thing is for sure. When you pray, God will answer. It may not be the answer you were looking for though.
