Last month, a California man purchased a winning lottery ticket worth one million dollars. Only one problem – he lost the ticket and couldn’t claim the money. Sometimes blessings only need to be claimed. While this man missed out on a million, the blessings that await through Christ are priceless.

Isaac prayed to the Lord for his wife, because she was barren. And the Lord granted his prayer.

Genesis 25:21

Your Heavenly Father wants you to bring your desires to Him. “Ask, and it will be given to you.” (Matthew 7:7) He listens when you pray. He heard Isaac’s prayer for a child and granted His request. “If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!” (Matthew 7:11)

If President Obama invited you to the White House and wanted you to share your desires for this nation, wouldn’t you go? God is the Creator of all things. He is the King of all Kings. He invites you daily to enter His throne room and present your requests. Will you accept this grand prize of an invitation? Pray for your national leaders to accept that same invite from the Lord.
