Ask and it shall be given you . . .

Matthew 7:7

We all get to a point where we feel confused and indecisive.  We can't seem to figure out what we want or what to do.  We want everything, but nothing brings satisfaction.  Our spirit is restless because the mind is racing.  It may not be that we don't know, it is probably that we are afraid to ask.  We may feel as if we are running to something, but actually we are running away.  In those times we need to sit down, get still and evaluate just what it is we want.  We must do this quietly, honestly and often, if necessary.  We are human beings, blessed with the power of reason.  We have, at all times, the right and the power to figure out what we want.  Once that's done, we must have the courage to ask for it.  If we let the color of our skin, the gender we express or the ways of the world limit us, we will forever be denied.  We owe it to ourselves to choose a way and ask for it.  Once we ask, we can rest.

-- Iyanla Vanzant

Today I plan to choose and ask with an open mind.
