It can be hard to ask for help. Sometimes, we want things, and when we don't get them, it makes us sad. But we often wait until we really, really need something before we ask for it. Have you ever felt like this? Have you ever asked for something you really needed, like wisdom? The Bible says in James 1:5 that if you don't know what to do, you can ask God for help.
But remember, you should really need help before you ask for it. You can't just ask for things all the time. It's like when you ask your parents for something. They give you good things, right? Well, God can give us good things too, like the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit helps us understand what Jesus did for us.
Here's something important: If you don't ask, you won't get. But that doesn't mean you won't get anything if you don't ask. God still gives good things to everyone. It's like how the sun shines for everyone, whether they're good or not. (Matthew 5:45) But when we ask God for help, it's like we're showing that we trust Him like a child trusts their parent. And when we understand that good things come from God, we start to appreciate them more.
So, if you don't understand something or need help, don't be afraid to ask God. When we realize we need help, that's when we're really understanding how things work in our hearts and minds. Just like when you need something and you're not too proud to ask for it, it's okay to ask God for help too. It's like being poor in your heart, and Jesus said that's a good thing. (Matthew 5:3)
