Jesus said we can ask Him for anything, and He will do it.

So, why is it that we are so hesitant to ask?

Even when we do ask, we tend to minimize what we really want. We don't want to ask Him for too much because our extravagance might bother Him.

How foolish is that? The book of Ephesians verifies that our most extravagant thought doesn't even come close to the wonders of God.

There are plenty of people who will talk you out of asking big things from God. They have all kinds of religious-sounding reasons why it's not the right thing to do.

But it's time we heed the words of Jesus in their simplicity. Exalt His words over the fuss of everyone else.

In John 14:13, Jesus said, "You can ask for anything in My name and I WILL DO IT."

I've decided to take Him at His word. How about you?
