Ask and You Shall Receive
“Ask, and it will be given you.
Seek, and you will find.
Knock, and it will be opened for you.
For everyone who asks receives.
He who seeks finds.
To him who knocks it will be opened.”
-World English Bible
The entire world, your dreams, your journey, everything is built on the principle of ‘ask’, but most of us cannot bring ourselves to ask others for help. We are frightened to ask for information, direction, help, support, money, time or guidance.
Why are we aghast at asking?
- Fear of rejection
- Fear of looking like a fool
- Fear of hearing the word ‘No’
Step back from the situation. Think logically. What are the two possible outcomes when you ask someone for something? Either they say yes, or they say no.
If they say yes, you have gotten what you want. If they say no, you are at the same place where you started. You haven’t lost anything.
Be confident and ask. Ask as if the person will not refuse.
