Jesus tells us in Scripture that if remain in Him we can ask whatever we wish. We are also told that God loves to give good gifts to His children. So if these things are true, why am I not asking? I wrestled for a long time about what was ok to ask God and what was trivial or unimportant. We do certainly need to ask with the right motivation and in the mindset of seeking His will, but He desires to answer our prayers. He encourages us to ask anything of Him. I have found that in asking, I have seen His hand more and more in my life. I started to take Him at His word and ask for very specific answers to prayer. Sometimes I get the answer I want and sometimes I don't, but He answers nonetheless. So I have decided that I am going to live my life just asking. When we ask, we receive and it makes the journey so much sweeter!
