Have you ever noticed how when you slowly make excuses for something saying, "oh it is just this one time", then slowly it happens again and you make another excuse for it. Till finally you are at the point where you have to say enough is enough! Or you just get to a point where you don’t care anymore. You then say I’m tired of being miserable and trying to do it on my own, I need help! I need God, not I want God, but I desperately NEED Him!!! Then you take steps toward God, no longer running away in complete sin and disobedience. Then you ask God for peace and "wa-la" God gives you the desires of your heart… He gives you peace. I’m so happy that I can’t explain it. I know that it is because I asked God to give me peace like when I was a child and "wa-la", God gave me peace. I mean peace is just flowing out of me and into me.
I want everyone to feel this way; I want everyone to feel peace. To think that all we have to do is ask Him and He will really give it to you, is simply amazing. I always thought, "yeah sure he will give you the desires of your heart." Sometimes what you want is not good for you. God gives you what you want as long as it is good for you. So all you have to do is ask and earnestly seek God and His presence. If you really try hard and if you really want it, then God will give it to you.

For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure, and if you call out for insight
and cry aloud for understanding, |
