Genesis 25:21

Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was barren. The LORD answered his prayer, and his wife Rebekah became pregnant.

As Issac pleaded with God for children, the Bible encourages us to ask and even plead for our most important and personal requests. God wants to grant our requests, but He wants us to ask Him.

Even then, God may decide to withhold His answer for a while in order to
1) Deepen our insight into what we really need
2) Broaden our appreciation for his answers
3) Allow us to mature so that we can use His gift more wisely

Remember to pray =)
