Food for the Soul

Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete (John 16:24)

I was struck by this verse today, the first line immediately caught my attention. The word “until now” woke me up because still, at this time, I am not confident enough to say that I have given my best, nor have I tried my best, or do I know what IS the BEST I can give. I have so many things that I want to happen in my life. So many questions wanting to be answered, so many events that are still left with hanging questions as to why it all happened. And now I come to this point wherein I ask myself, have I really asked for it? have I prayed hard enough… did I plead… have I lifted it all up?

I am not ready to answer all those questions, I am unsure of where I stand now. But I am willing to try, may it be big or small steps. I know one day, someday, I will be confident enough to say, I am STRONG and I will have nothing else to worry about because I have You and You are in me completely.
