Ask Anything

Think of a time you wanted something, maybe from a parent or your boss, but you were too afraid to ask. Why were you afraid? Perhaps you feared you didn’t deserve it. Or possibly, you wanted it, but you also knew it wasn’t necessarily good for you. Whether you’re an adult asking for a day off of work or a teenager asking for permission to stretch a curfew, it can be difficult to ask boldly for what you want — especially if you’re not entirely certain you should have it.

Take heart in these words from 1 John and know that when you place your relationship with God as your top priority, you can ask him for anything. Anything! When we most desire to be in his will, he gladly grants our other requests.

God, you are my deepest desire. Knowing I can come to you with my needs, my dreams, and my unspoken longings brings comfort to my soul. Boldly this morning, I lay my requests at your feet. I know the answer will be just what I need.

Manakish is a popular breakfast served in Israel, Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, and Jordan. It’s a flatbread topped with za’atar, which is a blend of Middle Eastern herbs and sesame seeds. Manakish is also often covered with cheese, tomatoes, spinach, or minced lamb.
