In view of such hard opposition Jesus" disciples need to pray for God"s help. He will always respond positively to their words, though others may reject them ( Matthew 7:6). Still, their petitions must be for His glory rather than for selfish ends (cf. James 4:2-3). All that the disciple needs to serve Jesus Christ successfully is available for the asking.

"Jesus" disciples will pray ("ask") with earnest sincerity ("seek") and active, diligent pursuit of God"s way ("knock"). Like a human father, the heavenly Father uses these means to teach his children courtesy, persistence, and diligence. If the child prevails with a thoughtful father, it is because the father has molded the child to his way." [1][source]
The force of each present imperative is iterative. [2] We could translate them, "Keep on asking, keep on seeking, keep on knocking" (cf. Luke 11:9-10). However, no matter the level of intensity with which we seek God"s help, He will respond to every one of His disciples who calls to Him. [source][source][source]
