Just Ask Him!

Don't bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need. Luke 11:10 MSG

What is it you need today? Are you lacking peace? Growing weary in the battle? Are you finances out of control or your relationships broken? Do you long to walk more intimately with your savior and friend, Jesus Christ? Struggling to forgive? Unsure of your next step?

Whatever you need, you must simply ask our Father in heaven for it! I love this translation from the Message: "Don't bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need." It's simple!  We shouldn't hesitate to ask God for the things we need, and we definitely don't have to perform a certain way to receive His gifts. 

 2 Chronicles 16:9 tells us, "For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him." He's looking for his faithful children so he can bless them. He longs to give you good gifts! Whatever your need is, ask! Pursue God and be persistent. If your answer isn't immediate, remain faithful to Him for he is faithful to you. His answer and blessing will come in his perfect timing.  Read and meditate today over the following verses:

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him? (Matthew 7:7-11).
