Star Light, Star Bright

All of us can remember a wish, or a prayer we’ve made… In fact, several probably come to mind.
On a lighter note, I can think of several spankings I prayed to get out of in my childhood. And more than one occasion when I wished that a test I had not studied for would be postponed. And, of course, there were (and still are) the wishes, pleas and prayers I make to God that are of infinitely more significance than a test score or a spanking.
7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you,
ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
John 15:7
Who doesn’t want to hear ‘ask and you shall receive?’
The Ask.
Sometimes it is the hardest thing in the world to ask for help.
I find it hard to ask. It’s hard for me to:
- ask for grace
- ask for forgiveness
- ask for direction & guidance
- ask for help
In some contexts, my ‘asks’ are better described as prayers, so today’s faith focus is appropriate.
7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you,

So, here goes….
Lord, I am a hot mess. Will you please help me?
