Be
bold, and ask your Heavenly Father to answer your request (whatever it might
be). What have you got to lose? Maybe your request will be His choice to
answer. Dig into your Bible like you’re
a prospector mining for jewels (or gems). (After all, what’s more valuable than
God’s perspective on your reality?) Be sure to get with the Almighty’s plans
very soon.
