I had a whole post typed out and clicked...ah, crud. I had a whole post typed out and clicked your link about the bacon and lard prayer, and poof! gone. silly me!<br />So, here are the verses I found:<br /> <br />Matthew 7:7-11 (NKJV)<br /><br />7 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.<br /><br />8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.<br /><br />9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?<br /><br />10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?<br /><br />11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!<br /><br />John 16:23-24 (NKJV)<br />23 "And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.<br /><br />24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.<br /><br />So, my thought is, ASK AWAY! God wants our JOY to be full!!! And God loves us, like literally us- you, Lisa, and me, Lisa! We are His children. Here is a verse about that: <br /><br />Matthew 10:29-31<br /><br /> 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.<br /><br /> 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.<br /><br /> 31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03968926482209090648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216267552187166205.post-37854172273233578422012-02-05T07:11:10.659-08:002012-02-05T07:11:10.659-08:00There was one for cake too! If there were one for ...There was one for cake too! If there were one for coffee I'd have all the prayers I need!<br /><br />I want one that says, Please be in my day, help me find calm and balance and joy. And, I suppose, I could just say something like that, no?Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401807675546808620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216267552187166205.post-42955656703931339892012-02-04T12:17:24.723-08:002012-02-04T12:17:24.723-08:00Oh my gosh.

As soon as I'm done here, I'm so going over there to see.<br /><br />Honestly, what do you think about something as simple as "Come, Holy Spirit, please come"? It's simple enough to time out to your breathing, so it lends itself nicely to a meditative background, and it also sums up what I hear you saying about your spiritual quest right now. You're asking for guidance. You're asking for clarity. You're asking for peace. Everything else will come after. <br /><br />By asking the Holy Spirit to come to you, He'll bring those things- peace, clarity, guidance. <br /><br />Probably, He'll even bless the bacon and lard while He's there- no extra petition required.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05629132804649152538noreply@blogger.com
