- ASKING is making requests of God for ourselves and others.
- It is about sharing our desires, needs, and concerns with Him and trusting He will provide what is best for us. By asking, we demonstrate our dependence on God and invite His intervention. So do not be afraid to ask God for what you need, trusting He will provide in His way and timing.
- Philippians 4:6, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
- Asking is essential to prayer because it expresses our dependence on God, invites His intervention in our lives, and aligns our desires with His will.
- While we should not treat prayer as a wish list or a means of manipulating God, we should be bold and specific in our requests, trusting in His sovereignty and goodness.
