ASK OF THE FATHER IN MY NAME AND HE WILL GRANT YOU

I know the above is a bit (para.) but you get the meaning of when JESUS said this
concerning Prayer to GOD about HIS Granting our requests using JESUS' NAME.
I am Blessed to HEAR HIS VOICE, as are others, and I have asked for stuff using
JESUS name and most of the time I DON'T Get what I'm asking for. Now before
you remind me of the "in line with GOD'S WILL thing, I'm well aware of that and
I ALWAYS include the acknowledgement of this in my Prayer Requests and yet
they are not often granted.  Actually rarely granted.  And being in the "Low Room"
there are a lot of concessions to ask for. Not mammon stuff, just things that we
could REALLY use to help out.  You know, like a little more dough to pay an over-
due elec. bill or some such. Nothing to elevate mind you, just "slow" the sinking.
In most instances HE says to be Patient.  Ok, that's the "Wait for ME to Act"  part
which I also understand.  So I've Waited, and Waited, and waited and waited and
zip.  So I ask HIM about this (if the request is still relevant) and I get the same answer.  So, naturally I figure it wasn't "in line with HIS WILL".  But why would HE
still tell me again to be patient?  Then I began to wonder WHAT are "We" waiting
for or (on) ?  Hmm !   Could HE be Waiting on Me?  Was I to wait for HIM to tell me
something about what I was or wasn't doing in regards to my Prayers ?  Maybe I
wasn't asking the "right way".  When I asked HIM about this, HE was unusually
SILENT, and that almost never happens.  Uh oh !  It must be me !  Dummy !  It's
NEVER HIM !   So I get to thinking, what am I doing wrong?  Something HAS to be
Standing in the Way.  But what ?  What is something that would separate me from
HIS GRACE ?  What has ALWAYS separated us from HIM ?  S I N !   That had to be
IT.  But I'm a Sinner and HE KNOWS THAT.  I'm always Sinning somehow or another
even though I try hard not to, I still Sin cuz that's what I am, A SINNER !  I know that
in spite of that HE STILL LOVES ME !   Then IT HIT ME !   REPENTANCE ! !  I wasn't
REPENTING....BEFORE Praying for something.  I felt "dirty" when that thought hit me.  How could I seat myself at HIS TABLE OF GRACE with DIRTY HANDS ? Wow!
I felt very ashamed of myself.....and do you know what HE did when I realized that?
        HE SMILED...I actually sensed HIS SMILE...Boy, do I ever Love HIM !
                      SEEK HIS VOICE !
