One translation says, “You have not because
You ask not.”
I’ve asked a lot of times and not always received.
Why not ask again? There was a thing I wanted for a friend.
I felt like I could ask, but should not expect.
It’s not fun to ask and feel a stone-faced response.
And in the immediate, there was nothing but
More disappointment.
How much disappointment could any one bear?
Less than a fortnight later, the sorrow
Changed to bewildering joy.
Above and beyond all we could ask or imagine.
Praise his name.
