In this episode, I share journaling about the nearness of God and how He desires us to ask for things like wisdom and provision for our needs. Oftentimes we don’t realize how close God is because we have built up walls around our hearts as we live in this world. Those walls may have been protective and needed at one point in our lives, but when they stay in place they also block us from good things. As we open up more we can also connect with God through our asking, especially when that asking is aligned to the purest, most authentic parts of ourselves. I also share a little about my own struggle with understanding faith and how God can actually help us in our unbelief.

• Do not be afraid or simply forget to ask for my supply. Ask for my wisdom. Ask for my provision. Ask in my name and I will answer you. I will provide and supply your every need. Yes, sometimes what you ask will not align with my will and I will tell you so. But you do not cause any harm in asking. Do not be surprised if I answer your every request. Do not be surprised if I provide above and beyond your expectations. Your expectations are meager, yet I am the God of abundance.
• Take a step of faith when you are struggling with unbelief. Sometimes all it takes is a tiny step to overcome doubt and uncertainty.
