Ask and It will be Yours

God your Father in heaven is the giver of all things. He listens to your prayers. Today, ask of the Lord and He will give you. Have confidence that whatever you have asked for shall be granted to you and is already yours. 

Jesus lights up your world. Your light has come. Rise up in splendor, the glory of the Lord shines upon you (Is 60:1). Come and delight in the Lord's rich fare. He has prepared a feast for you. He invites you to His table of grace and to His covenant of love so true. He has satisfied your every need, offers you His bread and wine and to His presence He will lead. He has filled your heart with joy, shares with you His promises and to His glory He will employ.

Jesus is the beloved Son of God in whom the Father is well pleased. You belong to God through Christ His Son and nothing can separate you for His love. Be on guard against anything that can hinder your focus on the Lord. Be alert to the signs of sin in your life and be aware of what is happening to the people around you. Always pray for forgiveness of sins and protection from evil one who has power over the world. 

God's thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are His ways your ways. He sees the end from the beginning, and He works in mysterious ways. He does not think as we think, nor does He act as we act. He is holy and righteous, and He is faithful and exact. He knows the secrets of the heart, and He tests the motives of our ways. He does not judge as we judge, nor does He love as we love. He is gracious and compassionate, and He is merciful and just. 

You will never set a goal so big or attempt a task so significant that God does not have something far greater that He could do in and through your life. You cannot go on our own. You need to stand firm with others.

The Lord has a plan and purpose for you and He will guide you to see this through. He does not change nor does He fail. He is sovereign who always prevail. He has placed in your heart the blessed virgin Mary to be your mother too. A mother whose love to her son is pure and unconditional.

Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
