Asking

I have found in life that we often have things that we want to ask but we are to afraid to ask. This also happens when we pray.  We have things we want to pray, but we don't think that they are important, or even worth God's time. As I was reading my bible this week, I stumbled on these verses. There is a man, crippled form birth, outside the gates of a temple when Peter and John found him. Acts 3:6-10 goes, "Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have to give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God. When all the people saw him walking and praising God, they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what happened to him." The crippled man, probably never thought that he could walk one day. He probably didn't even bother to ask, because he thought it was impossible.
God wants to hear your questions. The bible says that God answers all questions either with a yes, no, or wait. There is no problem to small for God to handle. God cared about the beggar who didn't have much, and He cares for you too. Ask God all your questions you have and see how he responds. Sometimes He might surprise you by how He answers. You never know unless you ask.
