You have not because ya...

 ..ask not.  So ask some

Need prayer? Scan my texting code below to say what's on your mind.

Ask with the right motives and guess what.. you will receive. Inquire of the Lord today. 

"I sought (inquired of) the Lord and required Him [of necessity and on the authority of His Word], and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears." Psalm 34:4-17  knowGod.org

Message to self: Yo Kurt, prioritize. Come apart.. before you come apart. Go get alone to be still with Jesus.

Yes, to diligently seek God, to ask of Him regarding His specific will for you today.. to hear from His Word, to quickly respond to His directives or warnings for you.

Man, God is good, He loves you, still has a good plan, and He can still communicate with you.

Q: Do you still look to Him to meet all or just some of your needs? Remember, Christians who look half to the world or elsewhere to see their needs met sadly don't stay on-fire for Jesus Christ. They don't advance.. walking close forwards, they go backward instead. Who really wants to do that? Not me. Even if you think you have great education with common sense. Please inquire of Him. Go back to Him for the specifics of carrying out His will His way.. with His tone and timing. 

No time for distractions. Look to Jesus
