Title: 'Asking God'

"If you, then, though you are corrupt, know how to give good gifts to our children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!"
~ Matthew 7:11 ~
 
Have you ever been afraid of asking God for what you want? Perhaps you might have been frightened of getting turned down or disappointed. Perhaps you may have felt that your own desire was irrelevant, inappropriate, too insignificant or too much to ask God for. Yet we are told in the scriptures several times, to ask God for what we want or need, knowing that God is more than able to satisfy our spiritual, mental, emotional and physical needs. God does not respond to requests, in the same way as humans.
It is not our job to set limits on God about what God can or cannot do for us. Our God is limitless, and unbound by any of the usual human confinement or restriction. Therefore our own job is to simply ask, and expect an answer. It might not always be the kind of answer which our limited human mind can produce. But we can be certain that God's answer will be the right and perfect one for us. We can also be sure that God has are highest and best interests As children of God, we must learn to open up to our Creator and ASK for whatever support, or assistance we require. Nor do we ever have to worry about asking for 'too much', or 'too little'. The point is to just ask anyway, knowing that God loves us profoundly.
