"Keep on asking, and you will be given what you ask for. Keep on looking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And the door is opened to everyone who knocks.
You parents ? if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not! If you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him."
Matthew 7:7-11 (NLT)
This verse does not need to be explained! If you're a parent you know how fun it is to give gifts to your kids. God wants to give us gifts! AND, it tells us that He wants to give good gifts to those who ask him... What do we not understand about that? This verse has come true in my life so many times.
I started praying a while ago for God to make a way for me to quit my job and stay at home with my kids. My husband was not in agreement with me on this issue and it seemed hopeless. I just kept praying and a couple of years went by then suddenly, God changed everything. Miraculously, He made it possible for me to stay at home full time and on top of that I didn't lose a cent of income! Now that is a modern day miracle! Only God could have orchestrated that!
Have you asked for anything good lately??
I challenge you to start asking! I'm not preaching the "name it claim it" kind of faith here. I know without a doubt that when I pray for God to do something great in my life, I trust that He will only do it if it is trully what is best for me and his plans for me. Because I trust him, I ask but I always tell him that I want what HE wants more and if it is "No" or "Not Yet" then I am totally fine with that.
God wants you praying for those seemingly impossible situations. Think for a minute this morning....
Now, start praying for "THAT" that thing that just came into your mind. That impossible situation, relationship, financial burden, etc...
God wants you praying for those impossible situations. How are you going to see Him at work in your life if you only pray for the things you think are possible???
