"Just before Chloe was born when Jess was still pregnant the church staff had a raffle to win a overnight stay at a time share on Coronado island. Jess prayed and asked God for it so when they drew my name she was jumping up and down praising God. We got it because she was the one that asked."
This thought from last year actually is a memory from over a decade ago. What brought it on was that a lady in our church had prayed to receive a free overnight stay at a resort our church was giving away as a prize for people who came every week to our marriage series. That night she won. She jumped up and down praising God. Her husband told me later that she prayed for it and then practiced her praise dance she was going to do when she got the prize. He also shared she did the same thing when they won a trip to Hawaii. I remembered how My wife Jessica had done the same thing with the timeshare stay on Coronado island.
The point off all of this is that we need to ask. Even if it is petty or silly in our thinking. Just ask! The Bible says we have not because we ask not. Don't be shy, God knows you want it. Just ask! How many things have we missed out on because we thought God was too big to ask? Just ask!
Have you had an experience like this where you asked in prayer and God handed it to you against the odds? Taking some time to pray and ask right now!
