Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. (John 16:24, ESV)

Many verses in the Bible teach us that God wants us to pray and seek Him, but this verse adds something worth noting: He wants us to pray so we will receive from Him and be full of joy!

You might think, “Oh yes, I know that, Sharon. And I pray about all the big things like my job, health, family, church, and world events. Stuff like that.”

But what about small things? Have you ever prayed about something that seemed selfish or silly, and God answered it anyway?

I have. Many times.

People who say they don’t want to bother God with the small stuff don’t understand that with God, the Creator of the Universe, and all that is in it, it’s all small stuff.

“Sovereign LORD, you made the earth and the sky by your great power and might; nothing is too difficult for you.” (Jeremiah 32:17, GNT)
