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?

That must be the explanation.

In this context, I don’t know to what else I should attribute it. 🙁

Thy name shall be called Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. —Gen. 32:28.

By his strength he had power with God: yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him. —Abraham staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God.

Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. —If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. —Blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

Lord, increase our faith.

Hos. 12:3,4. -Rom. 4:20. Mark 11:22-24. -Mark 9:23. -Luke 1:45. -Luke 17:5

Lord, I believe. But my faith is exceedingly small and terribly weak. Help my unbelief. (See Mark 9:24.)
