In order to ask with real intent or to act with full purpose of heart, we must always make an accompanying commitment.

If we knew that we would meet the Lord tomorrow - through our premature death or through His unexpected coming - what would we do today? What confessions would we make? What practices would we discontinue? What accounts would we settle? What forgivenesses would we extend? What testimonies would we bear? If we would do those things then, why not now?

We should recognize that the Lord will speak to us through the Spirit in His own time and in His own way.
