Ask and it will be given to you...
Matthew 7:7 (ESV)
In September, my husband registered for the April Boston Marathon. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Then, he sprained his ankle. His knee gave out next, and shots weren’t as helpful as hoped. Finally, his hip became painful.
In the Fall, I re-injured my knee. My orthopedist scheduled surgery and said I would recover enough for Boston. I didn’t.
As the date approached, we wondered how it would turn out. One night I suggested, “Let’s pray we have the Best Boston Marathon Ever.”
We adjusted. We substituted Uber for the subway and walking. We skipped activities to rest in our hotel. We soaked in Epsom salts. After the race, we agreed it was the Best Boston Marathon Ever.
When I recounted our answered prayers to my friend Katie, she quoted, “You have not because you ask not.” (James 4:2) A good reminder.
