Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional 31 March 2026 (Tuesday) Message
TOPIC: Keep Asking
For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, [the door] will be opened.
— Matthew 7:8 (AMPC)
If there is a promise in God’s Word, don’t stop asking to receive it. Let today’s scripture encourage you to refuse to give up. Continue asking, seeking, and knocking, and you will receive, find, and see doors open for you.
I prayed for my father’s salvation for more than forty years. Finally, at the age of eighty, he received Christ and was baptized. It seemed as if it would never happen, but it did.
Even Jesus, who always got His prayers answered, had to pray twice for a blind man’s eyes to be opened:
They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?” He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.” Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. (Mark 8:22–25 NIV)
Let this Scripture passage encourage you to never give up on receiving God’s promises.
PRAYER OF THE DAY: God, help me keep asking, seeking, and knocking. Strengthen my faith when answers take time and remind me that You are faithful to fulfill every promise in Your perfect way, amen.
