And...it shall be opened.

In my prayer time this morning, as I wrestled again with my overwhelming need, I remembered what one of my ministers told me recently: “Just ask.”

He based his statement on what Jesus said.

So in my praying, I dared ask. Again. Specifically. Wearily. Hopefully. Doubtfully?

Then I read the following Scriptures:

Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil! And God granted him that which he requested. —1 Chronicles 4:10.

The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. -Proverbs l0:22

When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? -Job 34:29

Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. —Psalm 3:8

How great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men. —Psalm 31:19

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. -John 17:15

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. —Matthew 7:7,8

The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. -Psalm 34:22

How about that! 🙂

My trust is in the Lord. Can I possibly go wrong with that?

[The LORD thy God shall bless thee...in all the works of thine hands (Deuteronomy 16:15)]
from Deuteronomy 16:15

The Lord made all that he did to prosper in his hand. —Gen. 39:3.

Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways. For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. —Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. —Be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall he added unto you.

As long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper. —Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: and thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.

Is not the Lord your God with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side?

Psa. 128:1,2. Psa. 37:3,4. -Josh. 1:9. Matt. 6:33. II Chr. 26:5. -Deut. 8:11,17. I Chr. 22:18

Peace. Rest. Success. Happiness. Well-being. Prosperity. Blessing. God’s presence with me.

Those all sound so wonderful to me right now!

So…will I trust? and obey? and do good? and fear God? and delight myself in Him? and seek His kingdom and righteousness first?
