“It is OK to ask for help,” I am reading in the booklet developed for the Campaign for Action on Family Violence.

I am having here before me the “Children’s Guide to Family Separation”. Children have questions when parents break up. The guide will help answer the questions the children are having. But it says also: “If the answers to your questions aren’t in here, at the back there’s a list of people you can contact for help.”

There is KIDSLINE, Buddy Support and more.

Why don’t we have? Because we don’t ask!

“DON’T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP,” I am reading at the end of the booklet called  “AGING WELL, How to be the best you can be.”

Why don’t we have? Because we don’t ask!

The words of the Lord Jesus Christ we find in the Bible and in Matthew 7:7 the Lord says, “‘Ask and it will be given to you.'” and in Matthew 7:8 the Lord says, “‘For everyone who asks receives.'” What a promise!

And now listen to what James says in his letter: James 4:2:

“YOU DO NOT HAVE, BECAUSE YOU DO NOT ASK GOD.”

Let us ask God more than we have ever done before. Will you?
