Deadbeat dad? lol I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.

Well, you know, I think there's some element or something about your dad that you're locking away or for some reason you want to pretend it's dead. Your faith moves the door (shuts the passage) to whatever it is that you don't want to know about your dad, it's dead to you in a spiritual sense, but then you have to totally shut it in.
A store is a place to buy food (food is knowledge), so you're looking for knowledge.
The knowledge you've chosen is unsavory and it falls before you can eat (store it in your spirit). You communicate with your dad.
There is a possibility here that the "father" you were referring to was God. You've locked him away, but some part of him remains outside the cage. You've tried to lock him in mentally, but you can't completely get Him to stay out of the cage. Once you are given knowledge and knowledge that's not good to put in your system, then you call out to the Father.
Some circumstance calls for you to get the help of the father (and this may be dad or it may be the big guy)!
