This One's For Me

Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.  Matthew 7:7-8

 I truly believe that there is much more to prayer than simply asking and receiving.  After all, God is not just some proverbial genie in a lamp sitting around waiting to answer our every wish.  It has taken me many years in my walk of faith to realize that God always seems to work on issues deep within our hearts when we petition him with our requests; many times He answers our prayers much differently that we would expect Him to.

This new year, as we persist in talking and listening to God, let us open our minds and hearts to allow God to work in his supernatural ways to give us a greater understanding of ourselves, our situations, and His purpose and direction for our lives.  

Praise be to God!
