If Only I Ask

If Only I Ask We may rely on each other for tangible things within our reach. But to whom can we ask for those things that deal with the human spirit? Lord may we come to you when a hardened heart has bucked up against us. Lord may we come to you humbly when life is flowing smoothly. Lord may we come to you giving thanks when there is abundance in our lives. How much more will You give me Lord if only I ask? Matthew 7:7-12 ‘Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. Is there anyone among you who, if your child asks for bread, will give a stone? Or if the child asks for a fish, will give a snake? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him! ‘In everything do to others as you would have them do to you; for this is the law and the prophets.
