Ask And You'll Receive

 

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name,
 he will give it you.

Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive,
 that your joy may be full.

John 16:23, 24

 

Asked anything of the Lord lately?

 

God is ready, willing and able to fulfill your request. He doesn't want you to lack any good thing. The Bible says that when we ask according to God's will, we can be confident that the Lord will not only hear but answer our request.

 

Are you lacking full joy? Maybe it's because you have yet to ask of God what you really need. Often we make our own (selfish) requests to the Lord for what we want, but we neglect to petition Him for what we need.

 

Today, I want to challenge you to take some time and go before the Lord. Settle into His presence and examine your life. Look at what is missing. Look at what is lacking. What do you need? Ask of your Heavenly Father what you need. Ask Him, in the name of Jesus, to fill out what is missing so that your joy may be full.

 

Jesus came that you might have life and have it more abundantly. Are you living that abundant life? Maybe it's because you did not ask the Lord for what you need.

 

Verse of the Day: And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. 1 John 5:15, 16
