I say to you, keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching and you will find. Keep knocking and the door will be opened to you. Luke 11:9
Do you ask God for his help only when you absolutely need it? or just occasionally? Lets hope not. We all need to be in the habit of asking God for his help and guidance in every aspect of your life. The Bible promises that God will guide you if you let him. Your job: let him. Sometimes you will be tempted to go along with the crow, other times you may just want to go your own way. Obviously, that it not God's way. When you feel those temptations, resist them. God promises that He will always help you if you just ask. Ask him to lead you, to correct you, and to protect you. If you ask he will give, all you have to do is ask. God is standing at the door, once you knock he will let you in. Your job is to seek His guidance prayerfully, confidently, and often.
"When will we realize that we're not troubling God with our questions and concerns? His heart is open to hear us-his touch nearer than our next thought-as if no one in the world existed but us. Our very personal God wants to hear from us personally." Gigi Graham Tchividjian
"Often I have made a request of God with earnest pleadings even backed up with Scripture, only to have Him say 'No' because He had something better in store." Ruth Bell Graham
" By asking in Jesus' name, we're making a request not only in His authority, but also for His interests and His benefit." Shirley Dobson
Every day God gives us a wrapped gift, we need to unwrap it, use it, and give thanks to the giver.
Prayer:
Dear lord, today I will ask You for the things I need. In every circumstance, in every season of life, I will come to you in prayer. You know the desires of my heart, lord; grant them I ask. Yet not my will, Father, but Your will be done. Amen
