asking has never been so easy

Do you wake up every day thanking God for what He has given to you? Or do you wake up feeling sorry for yourself and not appreciating what God has given to you?

A lot of times I woke up feeling sorry for myself and not thanking God and appreciating what I already have. I felt like I've been praying to God constantly but yet he still hasn't answered any of my prayers. Little did I know, God has his own timing on everything that He does.

I have been on a 40 day corporate fasting with my church and one thing I have been fasting and praying for is financial break trough. I have always prayed for it, even before the fasting, but during this fasting I continued to ask God for the doors to be opened. I had faith and believed that God will open the way.

As it says in Matthew 7:7-8 :
Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

It was just a couple months ago that my dad started a new job and he said it has been kind of rough on him. The only way I could think to help is through prayer, so I prayed for him everyday that he will stay strong and that God will open up the doors for him. A couple of weeks ago I asked my dad again about his work. I asked him how he was doing and to my surprise he said that he loves it and he just recently got a raise and a bonus at the same time! Now, if God didn't do that then who did? Who am I kidding? Of course it was God! As I mentioned earlier, God has his own timing for everything, including answering prayers. And the best part is that his timing is NEVER late!

The next time you wake up in the morning, you should thank God for everything that you have and for everything that He has done. If you still feel like there's something that you need, then just do as it says in Matthew 7:7-8 - ASK and it will be given to you. It's as simple as that, asking :) be blessed!
