ASK AND IT WILL BE GIVEN
ASK AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU; SEEK, AND YOUWILL FIND; KNOCK, AND IT WILL BE OPENED TO YOU.( LUKE 11:9-10 *NKJV )
Dear Friends,
Those are the words of our Savior Jesus Christ. Jesusalso said: "IF YOU ABIDE IN ME, AND MY WORDSABIDE IN YOU, YOU WILL ASK WHAT YOU DESIRE,AND IT SHALL BE DONE FOR YOU." ( JOHN 15:7 )
Now these verses do not mean that everything wemay ask for will be given to us, but do mean that if it isGod's Will for us it will happen! After all we may askfor something that would hurt us in the end, for wehave no way of knowing the future. So when you pray do not be afraid to ask God forsomething that you desire, knowing that He who knowsall is looking out for you. For God has said: THEN YOU WILL CALL UPON ME AND COME AND PRAY TO ME,AND I WILL LISTEN TO YOU. YOU WILL SEEK ME AND FIND ME WHEN YOU SEEK ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART. ( JEREMIAH 29:12-13 )
Also do not think that God has abandoned you if a prayerisn't answered the way you would like. After all, in timeyou may look back on that prayer request and say, "Thankgoodness, God Didn't Answer That One!" Therefore Nena, never lose hope when you prayfor it is written: THE EFFECTIVE, FERVENT PRAYER OFA RIGHTEOUS MAN AVAILS MUCH. ( JAMES 5:16 )
So; PRAY CONTINUALLY; GIVE THANKS IN ALLCIRCUMSTANCES, FOR THIS IS GOD'S WILL FOR YOU IN CHRIST JESUS. Amen. ( 1 THESSALONIANS 5:17-18 )
