KEEP ON

Simply because you recognize an area in which you are struggling in life does not mean that you are ungrateful for everything else that you do have that is good, that others may not have. It is possible to know that you are blessed and also be honest with God and yourself, and ask Him for that which you are lacking, whether it be financial, spiritual, emotional or physical needs, God already knows your needs before you open your mouth to tell Him; so you may as well ask. In fact Jesus Himself tells us to:

“Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.” - Jesus ‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭7:7-8‬ ‭NLT‬‬)

And I love how He says "KEEP ON....".
Interestingly enough; most of us ask God once for something we need and if He doesn't bring it to pass that very moment, we never ask again.

KEEP ON ASKING. KEEP ON SEEKING. KEEP ON KNOCKING.

Just because the request hasn't been answered yet does not mean it never will be. Just because what you are searching for has yet to be found, it does not mean it never will be. And just because the door you've been knocking on has yet to be opened by God, it does not mean it never will be. Don't lose faith and hope in God because it hasn't come to pass YET. And don't let anyone make you feel ungrateful for asking for God's help in any area of your life.

KEEP ON.....
