That one word - "Ask" - what does it mean to you?

Bible Verses Referenced:

• James 1:5-6 - "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God.  When he asks, he must believe and not doubt."
• Jeremiah 6:16 - "Ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls."
• Matthew 11:28 - "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
• 1 John 5:14 – “If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.”
• Romans 8:5-8 MSG - "The law always ends up being used as a Band-Aid on sin instead of a deep healing of it."

Key Points:

• Ask...then...Believe God for it!
• It’s hard to be disappointed by something we weren’t hoping for.
• God’s promises are stronger than our feelings.
• I can’t allow the way I feel on a particular day to set the direction for my life.

I was challenged to not pray blanket prayers, but to be specific.

Fervent: A Woman's Battle Plan to Serious, Specific and Strategic Prayer - Priscilla Schirer

When God wants us to give us confidence, He doesn’t applaud our gifts. He promises His presence.

Those voids in our capabilities? God wants to fill them with His sufficiency, not our striving.

Confession primes our hearts to pursue obedience.
