to ask for it, so ask, seek and knock. <str<strong>on</strong>g>You</str<strong>on</strong>g> have allies in many<br />
dimensi<strong>on</strong>s who are more than willing and able to help you<br />
when you’re caught in a difficult situati<strong>on</strong>. <str<strong>on</strong>g>When</str<strong>on</strong>g> you need<br />
help, ask for it. And, of course, I, too, am always <strong>the</strong>re to assist<br />
you.”<br />
I interrupted God at this point. “Lord, <str<strong>on</strong>g>You</str<strong>on</strong>g> say we<br />
should ask for help, but I’ve asked many times and, yet, it<br />
seemed that <strong>the</strong>re wasn’t any answer. I seemed to have been<br />
worse off than before asking. Why is that so?”<br />
“It’s very simple indeed. Many times you ask without<br />
believing that you’ll get an answer. Sometimes you d<strong>on</strong>’t think<br />
that you deserve an answer. At o<strong>the</strong>r times, you’re pleading<br />
and begging and talking so much that you can’t hear <strong>the</strong> answer.<br />
“Then <strong>the</strong>re are those times when you’re like your s<strong>on</strong><br />
who has just broken his toy train. He asks you to fix it for him,<br />
but he holds <strong>on</strong> to it and w<strong>on</strong>’t give it to you. In fact, he even<br />
tells you how to fix it. <str<strong>on</strong>g>You</str<strong>on</strong>g> want a problem solved? Then d<strong>on</strong>’t<br />
hold <strong>on</strong> to it. Release it to me and go about your work. Let go<br />
and let God.”<br />
“Do <str<strong>on</strong>g>You</str<strong>on</strong>g> mean it’s that simple? Just let go? That makes<br />
sense though. I think I’ll try it,” I stammered.<br />
“<str<strong>on</strong>g>You</str<strong>on</strong>g> always have enough to do what has to be<br />
d<strong>on</strong>e—more than enough, actually, to take care of all your<br />
needs and wants. Sometimes you go through trials, but that’s<br />
<strong>on</strong>ly to streng<strong>the</strong>n parts of you and to give you a deeper understanding.<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>You</str<strong>on</strong>g>’re never al<strong>on</strong>e. I am with you always. <str<strong>on</strong>g>When</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
you’re down in <strong>the</strong> arena and your face is in <strong>the</strong> dust and <strong>the</strong><br />
crowds are booing, d<strong>on</strong>’t give up. <str<strong>on</strong>g>When</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong>y laugh at you and<br />
ridicule you and say all manner of vile things against you,<br />
d<strong>on</strong>’t give up. <str<strong>on</strong>g>When</str<strong>on</strong>g> you feel <strong>the</strong> boot of your opp<strong>on</strong>ent <strong>on</strong><br />
