The father was watching his son playing in the garden. The son was trying to shift a large stone from one side of the garden to the other. He heaved, and pushed. He pulled and levered. But notwithstanding all his efforts he could not move that stone a single inch.

Finally he burst out into a frenzy. Yelling, and banging against the stone he puffed :"It's no use. It's not fair. It won't move".

His father came over to him and gently picked him up. "Do you know why you did not succeed in moving that stone?" he asked his child.

"Why?"

"Because you were not using all the strength at your disposal! That's why!"

"To this the child became hysterical. "What? I was pulling and pushing with all my might! Of course I was using all my strength!"

"No, you weren't! And I'll show you!" answered his father.

Whereupon, he went over to the stone, picked it up and carried it over to where the boy had wanted it placed. "See. You weren't using all the strength at your disposal. You only had to ask me and I would have made my strength at your disposal!!"

All you have to do is ask. So many situations are beyond our powers. All we have to do is draw strength from our Father. All you have to do is ASK!
