When I’m trying to do it myself, it’s because I believe I “should”. Like I owe someone something.

Restore our fortunes, Lord , like watercourses in the Negev. Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy. Though one goes along…
I used to see the pride in our accomplishments, our hustle, our covering up of our vulnerability to show how awesome we are…how we have it all together. Well, we don’t. And now everyone knows it.
In layman’s terms, I think God is telling us here to enjoy our lives, pursuing that which satisfies rather than worrying about or striving for those things which He is already taking care of for us. God desires to give good things to His people, and that includes an abundant, full and satisfying life.
Last time, we talked about what and how to ask when we go before the Father. Today I want to wrap up our ASK series…
Because when we love Jesus, when we believe he came from God, his sacrifice covers our sins, and we gain direct access to ask the Father in Jesus’s name. Then when we are truly asking as Jesus’s representatives, with his motives and ways of loving rather than our own, the Father gives what we ask.
