Most of us do not approach God with God-sized requests. We almost always ask for too little, which is another way of saying we think a problem is so big that it’s too much even for God. But just because we cannot in our wildest dreams imagine a solution to a problem that we are currently experiencing doesn’t mean there isn’t one. Nothing is too much for God to handle or rectify or resolve. “God is not accustomed to refusing a good gift to those who ask for one,” Saint Ambrose reminds us. So go ahead, ask God for help finding a job, for guidance on how to handle a tricky situation with friend, or for a solution to whatever your problem is. Then let God do God’s thing, which is to surprise and delight us with mighty works.
