Taking Time to Ask

"He granted their request because they trusted in Him" -- 1 Chronicles 5:20/ HCSB

Sometimes, amid the demands and frustrations of everyday life, we forget to slow ourselves down long enough to talk with God.  Instead of turning our thoughts and prayers to Him, we rely upon our own resources.  Instead of praying for strength and courage, we seek to manufacture it within ourselves.  Instead of asking God for guidance, we depend only on our own limited wisdom.  The results of such behaviors are unfortunate and, on occasion, tragic.

Are you in need?  Ask God to sustain you.  Are you troubled? Take your worries to Him in prayer.  Are you weary?  Seek God's strength.  In all things great and small, seek God's wisdom and His grace.  He hears your prayers, and He will answer. All you must do is ask!

Lord, when we have questions or fears, let us turn to you. When we are weak, let us seek Your strength. When we are discouraged, keep us mindful of Your love and Your grace.  In all things, let us seek Your will and Your way, today and forever.
