Verse of the day - Matthew 7:7 (NRSV)
Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.
In Chapter 1 of my second book, Jesus tells us that we should not be afraid to ask Him for anything.
Excerpt from Come Back To Me.
Come before Me just as you are. I love you with an everlasting love. There is nothing that you could do that would tear Me away from you. Be not afraid to ask anything from Me. Many times, My dear children do not receive because they do not ask. Ask for whatever you will, and it will be provided for you, provided it is part of My Will. I gave My life's blood so that all may live. My prayer for My dear children is that all may come back to Me.
When we have needs in our daily lives, we need to bow before the Lord and ask for help. Just as Jesus said, "We receive not because we ask not." Jesus knows our heart's desire, needs, and wants much better than anyone else. When we come before the throne of grace and ask for help, Jesus will hear and answer our prayers. Sometimes it is not the way we had hoped our prayers would get answered, but it is always answered according to God's Will. Sometimes we get an answer right away to our questions. Jesus has three answers for us; yes, no, and wait. Many times, when the answer is wait, we begin to grow impatient. We want things done in our time instead of God's time. We need to learn how to wait patiently for the answers we so desperately want. If we wait patiently for God's answer, we will never be lead wrong. Jesus knows our situation better than anyone else and He will never guide us in the wrong direction. We need to trust in His answers.
