Ask

God, as a good Father, delights to meet the needs of his children.  He knows exactly what we need even before we ask him (Matt 6:8).  He loves to hear us ask because our asking is an expression of our trust in him. He tells us to ask and not give up asking even when it might seem the answer is slow in coming (Matthew 7:7).Sometimes, we don't recognize his answer because it doesn't come in the package that we expected or, sometimes, we may be asking with wrong motives.  God, as a good Father won't answer those requests.As we grow in our understanding of the generosity of God, we will be more inclined to ask and trustingly wait rather than strive and worry.  We can rest in trust, knowing he knows every need we will have today and tomorrow and has the resource ready for us from his rich supply exactly when it is needed.  God, grant us the disposition of a trusting child who is confident in the Father's ability to provide and then waits patiently for it .                If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

Matt 7:11 (NIV)

Every good and perfect gift is from above,

 coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights.

 James 1:17 (NIV)
