If you wish to pray to God about asking someone out or having them ask you out, God will listen. Prayer is communication with God and He hears you. God knows best when the time and person is right for you.

What does the Bible say about Ask and you shall receive?

Staff Answer

Here is one version of what the Bible says: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." Matthew 7:7–8. You can also find Jesus saying: "Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete" in John 16:24. There are other places in the Bible where this similar text can be found too (e.g., Mark 11:24, Luke 11:9 and John 15:7). It is in relation to prayer.

Know that God is always listening and that He will guide you to do what is right.

Question

I miss a person, and I fear I will never see them again. How do I pray to God to see them again?

Brandy-lee N Austin

Community Answer

The Bible tells us that we should not be afraid or have fear (2 Tim.1:7 For God had not gave us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind). Fear is the complete opposite of faith, and faith is required in order to get close to God. For God is love, perfect love, and perfect love casts out fear. Also, everything that happens to us happens for a reason, there are no coincidences. So maybe God placed that person in your life for a reason, but only for a season. You may be going through a growth experience and He may be giving you experience so that you will be better equipped for what He has planned for you next. Pray for the person that you miss, pray that they may be blessed.

Question

How do I develop a deeper love for God?

Community Answer

Pray that God will deepen his relationship with you. When you worship in church, try to give it your all. Everyone has a different way of praising God. Whenever there is an altar call in your church, try to pray this prayer: "Father God, today I pray that our relationship will deepen, and that I will develop a deeper love for you, in Jesus' name, Amen."

Question

As time passes, praying for a miracle can get extremely frustrating. How do I know what is causing such prolonged troubles?

Community Answer

While praying for a miracle is an important part of your faith in a greater power helping you, you still need to help yourself by doing all that you can manage to fix your situation. To unravel what is causing your problems, write down what you see as all your problems, then write down what you think would fix them. Then set about putting in train things that will start to improve your situation, while still saying your prayers.

Question

Will praying to God heal me?

Community Answer

You haven't clarified what you need to heal from -- if it is physical, be sure to follow everything that your doctors have suggested as well as your prayers. If it's emotional pain, then have faith in God and pray often. In respect of either, nothing is impossible for God.

Question

How do I get over losing my job?

Mrsblack Mathews

Community Answer

Ask God to place you were he wants you to be, not where you want to be. When you ask God for a good job and he gives it to you, always remember who gave you that job, and thank and praise him. God has a plan for you, and something better in mind than the job you just lost. Ask and you shall receive. I pray that God be with you on your new journey.
