Ask and it Shall be Given YouThis statement sounds incredible. ASK and it shall be given. It sounds amazing, doesn’t it? It sounds almost unbelievable right? Imagine if all you had to do to get anything you wanted out of life is ASK. It sounds a little farfetched doesn’t it?
But
Bible tells us to ASK and it shall be given you.
No matter how farfetched it may sound, it is so true. If it weren’t true,
Bible wouldn’t say it.
If you go to God and ask Him to help you discover His purpose for your life, and if you are truly sincere and truly desire to find your purpose, “it shall be given you.” It will. Try it. Go somewhere you can be alone. Find a quiet place where you can talk with God.
Tell him your desire. Let him know that you are unhappy with your present situation. You know you were meant to be great! Let Him know that want more for your life than your present situation.
Let Him know that you desire to lead
life He has planned for you. Remind Him that He said “Ask, and it shall be given you.” Let Him know that you are ready to start living His purpose for your life.
And then listen. Listen for
answer. Listen to your heart, to your soul, to your quiet spirit. Spend sometime in mediation and clear your mind until ideas start to flow from God directly to you. It will happen.
Write down what God is directing to your soul. Write down every thought and idea that enters your head.
For
next week, write down every single idea that comes to you. The idea may come when you are eating breakfast, or driving to work, or when you’re in
shower. Generally, it comes when your mind is not occupied with your daily thoughts. It will generally come when your mind is free of thought. That’s why it’s important to mediate each day.
By mediate, I don’t necessarily mean that you will have to sit with your legs crossed and palm up, chanting. I simply mean find some time when you are alone and in quiet surrounding. You cannot mediate if
kids are running around you, screaming. Or
spouse is telling you about their day. You can’t mediate watching
prime time special on television--because your mind will be occupied with other things.
