Ask The Father

Many of you remember while growing up wanting something or needing something who would you turn to? Most likely you ran to mom or dad and asked them. Sometimes mom would say I don't know ask your dad, and sometimes dad would say ask your mom. Some of you can still run to mom and dad some of you can't, but we can all run to our Heavenly Father.
(Read from family Bible pg 1487 when kids ask)

Father God tells us several times in His word if you will ask He will give, John 14:14 " If you ask thing in My name (In Jesus Name) I will do it" , If you have a need all you have to do is ask the Father In Jesus' name and He will do it for you. It is that simple all we need is faith.
James 1: 6-8 AMP. "Only it must be in faith that he asks with no wavering (no hesitating, no doubting). For the one who wavers (hesitates, doubts) is like the billowing surge out at sea that is blown hither and thither and tossed by the wind. For truly, let not such a person imagine that he will receive anything [he asks for] from the Lord, [For being as he is] a man of two minds (hesitating, doubtfull, irresolute), [he is] unstable and unreliable and uncertain about everything [he thinks, feels, decides]."
You have to have faith when you ask the Father. We already know that He will do it if you ask in Jesus name because He said so in John 14:14 that I mentioned earlier. In Mark 11:24 " Therefore I say to you , whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them."
Matthew 7:7-11 " Ask and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who ask receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who if his son asks for bread will give him a stone? Or if he ask for a fish will give him a serpent ? If you then being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will you Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him."
We also need to be patiencet sometimes God will tell us to wait for His perfect timing. Phliipans 4:6-7 " Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will gurad your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus"
Aren't we glad that our Heavenly Father is so willing to give to us and all we have to do is ask and believe in our hearts that it is done. He'll never say I don't know and tell you to ask somewhere else.
