God’s help is near and always available, but it is only given to those who seek it.

From Matthew 7:7-8:  “Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.  For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.”

Max Lucado (born 1955) is an American pastor and Christian author.
