ask Him.

hey y`all!
today was great :] i got to hang out with ashley, yayy. and then church, which was great. except for mitchell hurt my finger with a tennis racket cover...but its okay, he didnt mean too. haha. im really excited about the lockin friday night, i think its gunna be really fun! i lovee go-carts :] haha.
so my devotion last night, i did it on asking God. we can ask God for anything because it will always be better than taking things into our own hands. and he will always answer us. the bible says, James 4:2, "You want something but dont get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God." if we want something, ask God for it. certainly nobody else is going to get it for us. but we must ask with the right intentions. but mostly we need to ask God to teach us about himself and for his guidance and his wisdom. we need to ask his guidance ALL the time, not just when we're in a crisis but for the little things too. everything will be better if we go about it the way God wants us to and the only want to figure that out is by asking him. we need to ask God for direction in the plan he has for our life, and for strength to accomplish it. Gods always there to answer our prayers, now it may not be exactly the way we want, but one thing I know and you should too, is that it WILL be what is best for us. also, it may not always be right when we want it, remember God doesnt work on our time, he works on his. so we must be patient.
i love y`all
God Bless!
