A lot of us Christians have been afraid to ask God certain questions, and some of us are in that place right now. Most of the time, it’s because we think He won’t answer us. Thoughts like, “God isn’t going to answer me, so why ask?” start growing in our minds. Sometimes we feel this way about blessings too. We don’t think He’ll respond, so we don’t even pray about the things we really desire.
Sometimes when we pray for something we really want, we think God should answer right away. But praying isn’t like making a wish—it’s the start of a process. He begins to shape our thoughts, our choices, and even our desires so they line up with what He wants for us. In other words, He begins working on our hearts so that what we ask for lines up with His Will.
Matthew 21:22 (NLT) says, “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” That doesn’t mean God behaves like a vending machine that gives us everything instantly. It means He listens, He cares, and He answers in the way that’s best for us. Sometimes His answer is “yes,” sometimes it’s “not right now,” and sometimes He shows us something even better than what we asked for. He changes our hearts so we understand what we really need. So when we pray, we’re not just asking—God is also growing us and helping us trust Him more.
Even if we’re scared to ask, we should still pray—because asking is how we start trusting Him and letting Him lead us. Our Heavenly Father always wants you to come to Him when you have needs. He wants you to rely only on Him because He wants to bless you and make you happy.
So in conclusion, we should never be afraid to ask God any questions because He is our provider and protector. Trusting this means we have faith, and this pleases Him.
