Never Be Afraid To Ask God For What You Want...........

Ask God

When we sometimes feel all alone
your body seems it's made of stone.
And feel you can no longer be
then just kneel down upon your knee.

Just Ask God

When you have done all you can do &
nothing's going right for you.
When faith is waning, or not there &
no one even seems to care

Just Ask God.

Your heart aches for a friend in need.
You want to help, by some good deed.
Feeling helpless, with nothing to say,
Just bow your head. Begin to pray.

Just Ask God

When you have lost your best friend &
you think the world will surely end.
When all the love is gone & you are left all alone, no one to visit, or to phone.

Just Ask God.

You don't have to be so lonely.
He'll come to you if you only

Just Ask God

When you're so sick & you want to die,
Or you're so afraid & you don't know why.
You need care, like that of Mother,
Someone closer than a sister to a brother.

Just Ask God.

God never plows the soul of a woman or a man, without intent for His good plan.
When you feel that of the plow's sharp blade, don't let your heart become afraid.

Just Ask God.

He will hear you& He will forgive,
And give you reasons you should be glad to be alive.
He loves you and He is always there.
His love surrounds you everywhere.

Just Ask God

When we're happy & times are good,
We don't seek Him, but everyday we should.

Just Ask God.

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

When life brings you to your knees, when you feel so hopeless and helpless, so filled with disillusionment, you might feel that the only place you can look is to the sky, while you ask God why. Know that God does not favor one human being over another. God does not play favorites. All heartfelt requests can come from anyone. Anyone can ask God for whatever. Asking is just the first half of answered prayer. The second half of praying that moves God more times than not is ACTIVELY TRUSTING that He is going to answer what we ask Him for – providing we really NEED what we are asking Him for.

Satan does NOT want YOU having a more fruitful prayer life. The less confident you are that God will answer your prayers & the colder your love & devotion to God will become. That is what Satan is constantly after to get your confidence diminishing in your prayer life. Do NOT let Satan steal your confidence regarding PRAYERS & every bit as important - YOUR TRUSTING & BELIEVING. NEVER stop asking God for more wisdom in how to pray more effectively! NEVER stop believing God for more wisdom in how to pray more effectively! NEVER stop asking and believing God to show you how to pray more effectively for others. God LOVES answering prayer to encourage us to pray and trust Him even more.

It is important for you to understand this perspective, you need to know that you are a part of God whose spirit is inside of you with every breath you take & religion can never take this connection away from you. Whether or not you follow a religion, it is not religion that gives you your connection to God. God works in you, as you & through you at all times & all things, for God is all-powerful, all-knowing & God is the greatest lover in all creation. Trusting & believing that God is going to answer our prayer however He determines it needs to be answered is the difference oftentimes of never receiving ANYTHING from God by just asking & leaving it at that or watching God do the IMPOSSIBLE!

(In our minds it may seem impossible. To God, nothing is impossible)
