Matthew 7:7 (LSB) 7 \u201cAsk, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you<\/span>.<\/p>\n

God\u2019s word is clear when it comes to teaching us that He wants us to go to Him and ask of Him when we are in need.<\/p>\n

God also makes it very clear that if we ask, we will receive!<\/p>\n

Now that we understand this Biblical truth, let\u2019s look at it a little more closely, so we can be sure to understand it and put it into practice in the way God wants us to.<\/p>\n

We know, based on the verse above, that God wants to give us what we ask for.<\/p>\n

Considering that, we should carefully weigh our requests.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

To be sure that we are asking in accordance with what is best for us and is aligned with His will.<\/p>\n

You see, if we fail to carefully consider our requests, we can errantly ask for things that may hurt us or cause us distress in the future.<\/p>\n

This may be difficult for us to foresee. But if we take certain steps, we can eliminate much of the \u201crisk\u201d.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what can help us.<\/p>\n

His word says that He gives us the desires of our heart. But look at what else it says!<\/p>\n

Psalm 37:4-5 (NKJV) 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.<\/p>\n

We must delight <\/i>ourselves in Him. And we must commit <\/i>our way to Him.<\/p>\n

This is critically important for us to understand.<\/p>\n

And as we learn to delight ourselves in Him and commit our way to Him, our heart changes, as do the desires <\/i>of our heart.<\/p>\n

Then, our will becomes better aligned with His will. And this leads to our requests being less self-centered and more God-centered.<\/p>\n

And this is a win\/win since we are now no longer seeking those things that are self-serving, but those things that are God-centric and benefitting the kingdom of God.<\/p>\n

So, let us seek what He wants in us, that what we seek in our requests will bring glory and honor to Him and His kingdom.<\/p>\n
