Ask and it will be given!

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
(Matthew 7:7-11 ESV)One thing I have learned is to not be afraid to ask God for things. He will listen and help. However, not always in the way we want Him to. He does what is best for us even though we may not understand. He always answers with one of the three answers: yes, no, or wait. Those answers I still have trouble understanding. I ask for a lot of things... and well maybe I am to anxious to get the answer. So: “Be still, and know that I am God.
  I will be exalted among the nations,
  I will be exalted in the earth!”
(Psalm 46:10 ESV)
Be still! And listen and trust Him!
Ask and find your answer! That's what I have been doing...especially this week.
Have a Blessed week!
God is Love.
