Today, we are inspired by the encouraging words of John 16:24b: “Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.”
In the journey of faith, prayer is our direct line of communication with our Heavenly Father. This verse reminds us of the promise that when we come before God with our needs, desires, and hopes, He listens, and He responds. It’s an invitation to bring our hearts before Him, knowing that He delights in granting the desires of our hearts.
Today, take a moment to reflect on the things you need, the desires of your heart, and bring them before God in prayer. Trust in His perfect timing and His infinite wisdom. He invites you to ask, not just for the fulfilment of your requests, but that your joy may be complete in the process.
May your hearts be filled with joy as you draw near to the One who hears and answers.
