Whether we like it or not, asking Jesus for blessings is the rule of His Kingdom. Jesus delights in our asking because we are his children. Hebrews 4:16 says " let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need "
 
His heart leaps for joy when we come asking. This kind of prayer keeps drawing us back into the dependency of the parent-child relationship with Jesus Christ. It is okay to request Jesus's blessings for ourselves. In fact, it is an insult to Jesus not to come asking Him for your needs and desires. You pay Jesus a compliment by asking great things of Him
 
Jesus said to His disciples in prayer : " ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks -receives, he who seeks--finds, and to him who knocks the door will be opened". Jesus is not bothered by our asking, even when we come to him with the smallest details of our lives
 
Start asking today for Jesus to bless your life. In doing so, you can be a blessing to others. Make a list of at least three good things that you know your loving heavenly Father really wants you to have. Then persistently ask for them with complete confidence that Jesus is pleased with your asking and is most eager to answer you
 
Start this new year of 2007 with daily prayer to your Savior Jesus Christ. Asking Him for what you need in your life. Don't be shy in asking. But most of all, ask Him for wisdom on what he wants you do be doing for His Kingdom. How does Jesus want you to serve Him this year. How can you make an eternal difference for the Kingdom of God. If you ask Him, he will answer !!!
