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 10:51: "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 7:7
encourages us to Ask, Seek and Knock. Verse 11 says our Father in heaven
will give good things to those who ask Him.
Thought would need to
go into the answer, because James 4:3 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 4:6). 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 thanksgiving when we talk to him about our problems so that
we will experience His peace (Philippians 4:4-7).
Don't forget to
ask.
