Ask, ask, and then ask again. But how long does it take us to remember who to ask? In my humanity I more often than not find myself trying to fix ‘it’ (whatever ‘it’ is) by myself. And yet, I have a sure promise in the Bible that God is ready to receive my prayers about anything and everything. In fact just in case we missed it, through John chapters 14 to 16, Jesus is quoted no fewer than six times saying ‘Ask and I will give it to you’.
Are you an alpha male or female whose first response is to try to fix everything yourself?
Pray: Dear Lord God and Father, thank you that we can pray to you and ask in your name for what we desire. Help us always to remember your promises to us, and to remember that we can bring all our cares to you in Jesus’ name. Amen.

About this Plan
The irritating benefit of hindsight is that it is often easier to see why we should have listened to biblical wisdom when we suffer through trials and difficulties. The one thing I keep learning is that the wisdom was there all along; I just needed to look for it. It is one thing to have faith in your head. It is quite another to live out that faith in your heart, day by day.
