Today’s Devotional Scripture: 7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. - Matthew 7:7-12 KJV
The Message For Today (May 6, 2026):
***Listen To Audio Version: Ask For It Audio 539
Yes, it’s okay to ask. It’s okay to desire. It is okay to look to God to supply your needs according to His riches and glory. These are things that the Lord has promised us.
We are encouraged in the world to try to fix things on our own. But the Word tells us that even though the world may do things that way by itself, a lone wolf doing things on its own, in Christ, we can ask for what we need. We can lay down the pride, and we can lay down the worry. And we can go before the Lord and ask. We can inquire of the Lord, we can ask one another, we can seek that we may find. It is okay to ask in prayer.
Matthew 7:7-12 shows us that there is a way to pray and that when we pray, we want to believe what it is that we’re praying for, believe that it is finished, that it’s already done. For this is the promise of God: that we can pray, we can seek His face, and that we can believe that He hears us.
We can definitely ask for more.
Asking is not an indication of a lack of gratitude. It is not the indication that you feel like you don’t have enough. Asking is merely our heart’s desire to see the fruition of something that we know only God can give. Maybe peace in our hearts and minds. Maybe we’re asking for breakthrough in certain parts of our lives, relationships, or finances.
In all of these things, we know we might have our own strength and do it in our own way, and we can lean to our own understanding, or we can stop. We can acknowledge God in all of our ways, and He can direct our path in the things that we thought we already had figured out.
Why? Because when we ask God for His help, we show him implicitly that we trust him, that we seek him, that we won’t move without Him. This empowerment in the Holy Spirit for us to ask our God for help, to seek him out, to seek out clarity and fresh vision. These things make us different. These things cause us to be perceived differently.
Yes, we have the right, we have the power, and we have the capacity to go out and do it in our own strength. So why do it here? Why do it with God? Why ask? Because when you ask God to step in, that means you can let go of having control. You can let go of having all things worked out.
You can let go of trying to figure it out on your own.
When you call in the Lord, and you seek him, and you lay down every weight, the lightness that comes in is a testament to the glory of the living God. The lightness, the yoke breaking, the heaven is breaking. And in this place, renewed joy, restored happiness. The breaker anointing, which is going forth now over families, over relationships, over finances.
Because when it starts with you, when you seek God, when you ask the Lord in the name of Jesus, you are opening the door to God, coming in and pouring out what he already has for you. This is what he’s already done. This is the grace and glory of God.
When you open up your heart, and you ask, you’re not afraid of asking. You’re not afraid of praying, you’re not afraid of seeking. You’re not afraid. And because you’re not afraid, the enemy can’t use fear to keep you stuck. He can’t use lack of progress to keep you going around in cycles of shame and feeling demoralized. The enemy cannot overcome God.
So, inviting God into your situation through prayer, inviting them in, asking him to cover you, asking him for the weight of glory, asking him for breakthrough in finances, relationships, marriage, money, whatever the case may be, in your heart, in your body, in healing, soundness of mind, and purpose. All the things we ask God for, He can supply it according to His riches and glory. He can cover every need in the name of Jesus; he can cover all that you require.
But seeking Him is a part of that journey.
Turning to Him and turning away from our own understanding is required. Stepping before the Lord in the fullness thereof and knowing that He is El Shaddai. This is what we do when we ask: we tell the world that we belong to the Lord.
When we ask, we remind the enemy that we are not alone. When we open up our mouths and we ask the Lord, we ask. We inquire of the Lord. We ask and ask over and over again. We never get tired of going before the Lord like a daughter and a son that goes before their father and never gets tired of asking for what they need.
Let us be like the one that will knock that the door may be open to us. Let us be like the one who believes and will wait on the wall for the Lord to bring an answer. Let us be like the one who has longsuffering and trusts God implicitly, no matter what it looks like right now. But we’re walking by faith and not by sight.
This is the way to walk with the Father. This is the way to be blessed by God. This is the way to see things move is that we would trust in him, that we would lay down every weight in this world, and that we would go forth in the name of Jesus. For He is God alone.
He is El Shaddai. He is our great keeper, our strong tower, our great defense. He is mighty to save, mighty to deliver and mighty to set free in the name of Jesus. In this season, don’t be afraid to open up your heart and ask.
Don’t be afraid to go before the King of glory and inquire of the Lord. Don’t be afraid to have this conversation with God, where He hears your heart and where you know that you’re being heard. For remember, the Lord is always with us, but prayer is our reminder that we are also with God. We can seek him, we can trust him, and he’s more than able.
Closing Devotional Prayer
My prayer for you:
Father. I thank you for the mighty woman of God. I thank you, God, that this entire message was one about asking, about trusting, about leaning in and not leaning to our own understanding, but acknowledging you, God, in all of our ways that you may direct our path.
I thank you for miracles, signs, and wonders over the mighty woman of God. I thank you that many are the afflictions of the righteous, oh God, but you deliver us from them all. So I thank you, oh God for the breaker. I thank you for the healing. I thank you that the mighty woman of God will walk in the liberty for whom the Son sets free is free indeed.
I thank you, God, that she’s not afraid to ask. She’s not afraid to seek you. She’s not afraid to ask you to come in and change her heart, to change her mind, to change her behaviors in the name of Jesus.
Lord, I thank you. I thank you, Lord, I bless you. I thank you, oh God, for you are more than able. I thank you for the consistency. I thank you for the ways being made. I thank you, Lord, and I pray in Jesus,‘ mighty name, amen.
