Please, God

If you ask your parents for things too often, they may get a little annoyed. So you pick and choose what to ask for and when to ask. If your dad is in a good mood, you might grab the chance to ask if your best friend can sleep over. If your mom is stressed with work and running behind, it might be the perfect time to ask her if you can order pizza for dinner. If your parents are grumpy, it might not be a great moment to ask for a new video game, right?

Luckily, God doesn’t react the same way when we ask Him for things. We don’t need to figure out if He’s in a good mood or pick the right time to talk to Him when we ask for anything we need. It is always the right time to talk to God. He wants you to talk to Him. He wants you to ask Him for things. He wants to bless you.

Philippians 4:6 tells us to “pray about everything. He longs to hear your requests, so talk to God about your needs and be thankful for what has come.” God wants to hear from you. He wants you to tell Him what you need and what you want. God happily hears, knows, and answers your prayers because He loves you.

Just ask.
