You do not have, because you do not ask God

James 4.2b You do not have, because you do not ask God About 40 years ago the King of Saudi Arabia asked Arnold Palmer to play golf in his country. Palmer impressed the king with his amazing skill at hitting golf balls. That evening a servant came to Palmer’s hotel room and said “The king would like to give you a gift.” Palmer shrugged his shoulders and said, “The king doesn’t need to give me anything. His hospitality is enough.” The servant said, “You will greatly offend the king if you don’t ask for something.” So Palmer said, “Alright, tell the king that he could give me a golf club.” The next day the servant came to Palmer’s hotel and gave him the deed to a 300 acre golf club. When you pray remember who you're talking to. You are praying to the King who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine (Eph 3.20).
