Ask, Seek, Knock
“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not.”
— James 1:5 (NIV)
Prayer is our direct line to the Creator of the universe. These words open that door. "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not." These words were written for people like us, in moments like ours. Put simply: He is with us, and His Word is for us.
Words feel inadequate. The situation is complex. But prayer doesn't require eloquence—just honesty. God hears even the simplest cry for help.
