"Ask and you shall receive" (Matt 7:7-8)--Ask with confidence and hope. Don't be afraid that you will ask for the wrong thing. Of course you will! God "tempers the outcome" with his incomprehensible wisdom. Cry, ask, and appeal--you will get many answers. Finally, where you do not get an answer, or where the answer is not what you want, use prayer to enable you to rest in his will."
