The Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream and said, “Ask what I shall give you” (1 Kings 3:5).
The Lord makes the same offer to us. “Ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it” (John 14:14).
The Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream and said, “Ask what I shall give you” (1 Kings 3:5).
The Lord makes the same offer to us. “Ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it” (John 14:14).
We have complete freedom to discuss our interests with God. You may ask me for anything (John 14:14).
But our prayer should also include God’s interests. Father, glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you (from John 17:1).
For years we limped along, struggling to survive. Then we began to pray and the trajectory of our life’s work changed.
Have books to sell? Pray.
Children to teach? Pray.
A church to lead? Pray.
If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it (John 14:14).
You do not have, because you do not ask (James 4:20).
You do have, because you do ask (from John 14:14).
God said, “What do you want? Ask, and I will give it to you (1 Kings 3:5)!” and Solomon asked for wisdom.
God says to you, “Ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it (John 14:14)!”
What do you ask for?
