"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened" - Matthew 7:7-8 / New King James Version
Are you a person who asks God for guidance and strength? If so, then you are continually inviting your Creator to reveal Himself in a variety of ways. Jesus made it clear to His disciples they should petition God to meet their needs. So should we. Genuine, heartfelt prayer produces powerful changes in us and in our world. When we lift our hearts to God, we open ourselves to a never-ending source of divine wisdom and infinite love.
Do you have questions about your future that you simply can't answer? Do you have needs that you simply can't meet by yourself? Do you sincerely seek to know God's purpose for your life? If so, ask Him for direction, for protection, and for strength - and then keep asking Him every day that you live. Whatever your need, no matter how great or small, pray about it and never lose hope. God is not just near, He is here, and He's perfectly capable of answering your prayers. Now, it is up to you to ask.

Lord, today we will ask You for the things we need. In every situation, we will come to You in prayer. You know what we want, Lord, and more importantly, You know what we need. Yet even though we know that You know, we still won't be too timid - or too busy - to ask.
