What are you asking for?

It is that time of year again.  If you have young children in your life, I am sure that they are asking for all kinds of things right now.  In fact, just last night my daughter wrote a list of things she is asking for to Santa.  The list is not nearly as long as it has been in the past, but it is a sincere request of things she would like to see under the tree on Christmas day.  The point that I am getting to is that she is not afraid to ask.

James 4:2   Yet you do not have because you do not ask.


I was reminded of this verse by the Holy Spirit when I was mediating on some things in my life.  We must present everything to God in prayer.  Even though God knows what we want, need or desire.  I believe God still wants us to ask Him for those things.  Now I realize we need to ask in accordance to His will.   And He wants to bless us and use us.   But the whole thing hinges on us asking.
