Ask & You Shall Receive

God I confess there are things that I haven't talked to You about...or haven't brought up to You in a while.  I didn't want to think about it because I'm trying to just focus on You.  I'm trying to just rely on You but part of relying on You is asking You for what I need or what.  Not that You don't already know but we need to confess these things.  You just want us to let You in.  When we try to do things on our own strength we fail.  See we think that being strong means we can do it alone but we can't.  


Thank You God that I don't have to feel condemned because I have these wishes.  You just want me to be open about it so You can heal me. 


God it's been said that You're all I need.  And ultimately when it comes down to it it's true.  So I hesitate asking You for this because I don't want You to think I'm not relying fully on You.  Or..maybe I'm just putting You in the same category as everyone else I've met and I fear that I have to justify myself to You. Sorry, God.  You know it all.  And I guess, really I don't want to think I'm not fully relying on You.  I don't want to not fully rely on You.  I want to learn how to do that.  But I guess part of relying on You is trusting You enough to tell You what I "think" I need or what I hope to get or what I wish I had.  


"You don't receive but You don't ask"...that's what Your Son says.  And it's true.  So God I come to You in confidence that You will supply all my needs.  And until then God I ask that You supply right now for the lack that I feel.  Fill that void Father like only You can.  Sustain me until that time comes that You fulfill it in "that way" that I'm asking You to fill it.  And heal my heart and teach me what You would have me to learn. 

In Jesus' Name.  Amen.
