Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,… (Eph. 3:21).
We are afraid to ASK for anything, even when we desperately need something. Quite frankly the people we rely on have their share of issues to deal with, so we think we are intruding on their time and depleting their resources. Life experiences have caused us to be careful about what to ask for, when to ask and who to ask. What we do many time is, we create coping mechanisms and find ways to meet our own needs. If you are like me, you don’t particularly like asking people for anything unless it is absolutely necessary.
The great news is God is not bound by human limitations. He can do whatever you ask for in prayer. The only limitation is you. Jesus said to the Centurion “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.” What will you ask God to do today, when you know, Jesus says, “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer (Matt 21:22).” The whatever factor qualifies us to ask for whatever. Do not allow pride or past experiences to deter you from asking God to meet that need in your life. So come boldly before his throne and ask. Jesus always commended those who approached him in faith. That’s all we need, faith in his ability not ours.
Be Blessed.
