The young man paid a visit to the Doctor. He was a bit nervous and shy.
The Doctor inquired of him what his problem was. He mentioned a few things which
the Doctor addressed by prescribing some medication.
When the man got back to the car he remembered that there was something else
which he should have told the Doctor. Because he hadn`t asked for help in this
particular area of addiction he didn`t receive help for this problem.
Mark ch. 10 v 51 Jesus said to a blind man," what do you want me to do for you?"
The blind man said, "I want to receive my sight"
What would you say to Jesus if He asked," what would you like me to do for you?
Matthew ch. 7 v 7 encourages us to Ask, Seek and Knock. Verse 11 says Father in
heaven will give good things to those who Ask Him.
Thought would need to go into the answer because James ch 4 v 3 challenges the
motive for asking. It says you might not receive because of a wrong motive.
One thing is certain, God gives Grace to the humble James 4v6 Let`s all ask for
Grace and allow our heavenly Doctor to heal our wounds. Let`s make sure we don`t
forget to mention a particular problem. Tell Him everything.
One more thing.
We should Rejoice in the Lord always with thanks giving when we talk to him
about our problems so that we will experience His peace Philippians 4v4-7.
Don`t forget to ask.
