What Do You Need From God?
By: Caleb Reeves
​
We All Need Something From God.
We are all in need of something from God. For example, we all know that we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Therefore, if we all have sinned, then we need to come to Jesus because he is the way, the truth, and the light (John 14:6). More or less, we all need something from God, but how do we get that something?
​
Ask him!
“And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.” - Matthew 21:22
We just need to ask him! Even though God knows what we need before we ask (Matthew 6:8), he still wants us to ask him! He wants to talk to him. We can’t just grunt and expect him to give it to us. We need to ask!
​
Believe and Be Bold.
Some people are afraid of asking God for things! They doubt whether God will give it to them. Well, you doubters need to not doubt! You need to not be afraid, anxious people!
If you ask in prayer, BELIEVING, you shall receive it (Matthew 21:22)! Not only that, we are openly greeted to come BOLDLY unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16)!
Believe and Be Bold!
​
The Parable of The Persistent Friend.
Jesus told a story of a man who needed food. It was the middle of the night and he asked one of his friends. His friend told him no. The man kept asking and was very persistent until the friend gave the man food. Jesus tells us to do the same when asking God for something. If we ask, seek, and knock with faith, we shall be answered. Not only that, God tells us that he will not give us something bad when we ask for something good. God will provide us with what we need. (Luke 11:5-13)
​
Whatever you need from God, ask him today with persistence, belief, and boldness.
