If God would grant you one wish/request what would you ask? Sorry, you cannot ask for wisdom coz that was already taken by King Solomon.

If will request God and He will grant it, then I will request God to turn back the time smack right on the garden of Eden where Adam was placed after he was created and do it all over again and to emphasize again on his young mind not to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge!!! Practice makes perfect and a disciplined mind is focused only on what instruction he was given by God.And another request to God to let EVE be given a separate instructions and to obey as instructed!!!

So here you are, And I dont want to be hypocrite with your question. I would like to ask him for money lots of money, let me explain why, as a young boy, I grew up without a mother, I was tendered by my grandmother and we lived a poor with just enough to eat. Sometimes I envy people around me with money, they are happy with their lives not minding if the people around them is eating. As I grown up, I battle with what ever life does bring to me but I can see around me are very poor people which my heart ache if I cannot share them... That is why I want money to share to other people, sometimes I am asking myself " why I am doing it since i cannot even help my family" But I tell you that God is Great , God is Good for he provides me everything and he never falter, But still I ache for the poor are always insight. I am happy to be your friend....

That's one noble wish. Do you think that if you grew up rich would you have the same mind set-up? I know God has an answer for you. And only He can reveal it to you.

Yes, I realized that even if you have money, you can not give help to everyone. How much is enough, we never know since the government itself cannot do anything, so what i do is just my capacity to my neighborhood. Good thing my wife have the same heart as I have.

If I am rich, would I have the same mind set up. If Iam rich, I wish I will have the same mind, because I feel happy as I give for as long as I can..

If God would grant only one request, I would ask Him that He allows me to finish and publish THE WILL BIBLE (Greek to English). I have already published THE WILL New Testament (Greek to English), GENESIS & EXODUS (Greek to English), and other books, and God willing, I'd soon publish GENESIS, EXODUS, LEVITICUS (Greek to English). The Old Testament is very thick and it would take me long time yet to translate and so I pray to God to give me the strength and the courage and grant me that I would be able to finish and publish THE WILL BIBLE (Greek to English).

I would ask him why my mother who was such a devout woman was struck down by such a terrible illness. One so bad that I had to put my childhood on hold to help take care of her. I know it is part of his plan but I would just ask for clarity on that subject.

I'm sorry to hear about your mom. But I'm sure that God will give you the right answer in His own good time. Praying for you, Jemina.

i would ask god to bring some people on earth, who are honest and lovable. now the world has become so currupt. its so difficult to find a true person. we just cannot beleive on any one. we need to have different thoughts to deal with anyone. so i would request god to get honest and lovable people on earth.

I'm amenable to that. You made a very good point. We do need some good people. In the world we have now, we just lack few good people whou could alter the course of history.

Interesting question. And my answer is this. I would walk up to him, with great seriousness, and ask him a question that has been plaguing manking for centuries. "What's with the platypus?"

I would ask only for His grace and forgiveness. And for my family also. That is the most we can expect from Him.

God has given the chance to ask and recieve all the time. He didn't tell us in the Bible to ask once....He just said,"ask and ye shall recieve"(Matt.7:7 and Luke 11:9)Praise God for this!!! So,sorry but there is not one thing in particular that i can ask for. I have already recieved Forgiveness, Healing, Peace of Heart-mind and Spirit......and am in the process of reieving many more blessings. So ask GOD and ye shall also recieve! God Bless You, Jesus Loves You, Holy Spirit Guide You! Isenia

God may said "no one should ask me for what i've done. only you will be asked for what you have done on earth. I know something that you don't"
@Jemina (5770)

That's true. But actually what what I really meant here is, what would you ask God to give you, not simply what you want to ask God. Matthew 7:7 says, "Ask and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto you." I hope this clarifies the issue.

Sure God is always listening and granting pardon to those who confess and repent.

I just want a place by His side,I bet He would say that I still have to work hard on it. I dont want to be lazy, thats maybe the best that I can ask him for.

altho i'd probably ask a more important question, like why even bother to create us if there is a chance we would stray and end up suffering in hell when we never asked to be created? BUT, what i would ask is where did He come from? I am a Christian, but sometimes i wonder WHY i was made.

I can say God made you because He loves but I don't think it will answer your deepest longing. Only God can answer that in the way you will understand. anyway, I rated you + for this.

I would ask God who has he done in order to Jesus be born and if he enjoys being invisible...or something along those lines. I think the guy would hate my guts really badly, but what the hell anyway.

I would ask God why I cannot FEEL close to Him. I believe in Him, believe the bible and know in my mind that He is always with me. I envy people who say they have a close relationship with God because I do not feel close to Him at all. I do feel sorrow because of this. I don't know, maybe I still see Him as I did as a child, as a judge and only a judge. Someone who sits far away taking notes on everything I do wrong. I know this isn't biblically correct and in my head I don't believe it. It is my heart that has a hard time.

Great idea indeed, educz. I totally agree with you.
@Jemina (5770)

Do you have a very closed friend? someone you can tell all your secrets, joys, and frustrations? I have one--Jesus. He's the only one I can trust and no one else. I hope you will find peace and feel God's arms around you. Prayers for you.

Lostinoz, I am happy for you because you spoke the will to be close to him. Learn the act of giving and sharing your fortune to the lesser people around you and when you give , give something from your heart and thank the lord for doing so, you will realized someday how close you are to him. God bless you
