Ask, Believe, Receive

Throughout my spiritual journey thus far, my experience with “asking and receiving” has become solid. Despite what anyone may say or do, I will always believe that when I ask for something in prayer or declare to the Lord what I want to happen, I will have it.

It’s a simple concept that even an unbeliever can understand, although they may not believe in it. Not enough believers put this to practice for fear of their desires or needs not being fulfilled or feeling like they shouldn’t ask for things or situations to happen for them, that God will do whatever is necessary without having to make a request. 

Unfortunately, it is a tragic misunderstanding to think that doing what was already stated in the bible that you can do as something that you cannot. God of course knows exactly what you desire, but that doesn't mean that He will just make it happen if you don't voice it. 

You've probably seen a child trying to draw a butterfly, you both know that that's what the child is trying to draw and see that they are frustrated trying to make it look a certain way, but we don't interfere because they didn't ask for help nor do you want to hinder them from making mistakes and learning on their own how to keep trying until they get it right.

God, in a much bigger way does the same with us. He knows we need help but unless we stop and ask Him. 

We were after all given free will, use it!
