This past Sunday, the message was a very difficult one. Why is it that it seems God doesn't help us when we ask him? Are we asking the right questions of God? Is it wrong for us to ask God for help at all? The big question is, "If God's purpose is bigger than mine, is it OK for me to ask something that might seem trivial to God"? I know that God has my best interest at heart, and that his provision is always best. I know that his power is greater than my ability. But I also know that he promised through the psalmist, "Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart." (Psalm 37:4). So am I supposed to keep asking God for help? This is a difficult topic, but one that is important.
One final note... It is in the asking and corresponding with God that we build relationship with him. If he was just a big cosmic Santa Claus who gave us whatever we wanted, we would appreciate him, but we might now know him!
