Devotions – Why Don’t You Ask?

Why Don’t You Ask?

John 16:24 New King James

Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive,
that your joy may be full.

Over the years, I’ve come across numerous people that don’t ask God for
things for various reasons. Some don’t feel worthy. Others feel they
shouldn’t bother God with anything that is crucial. Many don’t think to
ask, and countless believe that God doesn’t care enough to answer their
prayers.

Those – and many others – are lies that have been carefully injected into
our minds. Those lies paint a picture of God that contradicts His loving,
fatherly nature.

Ask. What have you got to lose? Don’t let it be said that you don’t have
because you didn’t ask!

Father, I’m going to ask You for the things I desire, just like a child
would ask his or her loving parent. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
