| Asking |
| The following verses show the importance of prayer, in its aspect of making requests. |
| “Ask, and it shall be given you”(Matthew 7:7). |
| “Ye have not, because ye ask not” (James 4:2). |
| “And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He heareth us” (1 John 5:14). |
| King Solomon was told to ask of the Lord what he desired in connection with ruling God’s people. “The Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee” (1 Kings 3:5). Here is what he asked for: “Give therefore Thy servant an understanding heart to judge Thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this Thy so great a people?” (verse 9). |
| God granted him his request:“And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. And God said … Behold, I have done according to thy words” (verses 10-12). |
| Often, we limit the Lord by not asking. Do you have a request today? Ask! |
