Ask, and you will receive.
Those are the very words of Jesus. This wide-open promise only has one condition: abide in Jesus.
As long as He remains our number one, we can be confident that what we ask for, we will receive.
This is hard to believe. We can come up with all kinds of reasons why this shouldn't work. But all we are doing is stirring up doubt, which prevents us from receiving.
At some point in your walk with the Lord, you have to decide that you will believe what He said, just as He said it.
You won't add to it, or make it more complicated. You'll simply take it at face value.
The Lord desires that our relationship with Him involve much asking. He never tires of our asking.
Because a true friend is someone you don't hesitate to ask for anything. And Jesus wants to be that friend.
