Your Monday Hug Devotion for June 23, 2025: Asking and Receiving

Welcome to this week’s Monday Hug Devotion!

This week, we’re invited to take a simple but powerful step: to ask. Asking opens the door to receiving God’s grace - something we often overlook in the rush of life.

God isn’t waiting for us to have it all figured out. Sometimes, all it takes is a quiet moment to reach out, ask for help, and trust that grace is already on its way.

Where in your life can you ask more freely? What might change if you let go of the need to do it all yourself?

In this week’s reflection, you’ll find:

  • Encouragement to ask boldly and receive graciously
  • A reminder that God meets us right where we are
  • An invitation to notice grace in everyday moments

Featured this Week: Fleur-de-Lis Marian Door Rosary
Hang this beautiful rosary on your main doors as a daily reminder to ask for peace and receive God’s grace with each step you take.

Remember: You don’t have to carry everything alone. Asking is the first step toward peace.

Note: This week’s video devotion originally aired in 2021 - yet its message about asking to receive still holds true today.

Start Monday with an inspirational message that can help guide you through the rest of your week!

After the short video message, we encourage you to take a few moments to sit quietly and reflect on what you heard.  

Blessings to you as you prepare for the week ahead!

Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us!

Asking and Receiving

 
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find - Luke 11:9

Sometimes, amid the demands and the frustrations of daily life, we forget to slow down long enough to talk with God.  Instead of turning our thought sand prayers to Him, we rely entirely on our own resources, with decidedly mixed results.  Or, instead of praying for strength, we seek to manufacture it within ourselves, only to find that lasting strength remains elusive. 

Are you in need?  Ask God to sustain you.  And while you're making requests, don't be afraid to ask for the loving support of your family and friends.  When you ask for help, you're likely to receive it.  But if you're unwilling to ask, why should you expect to receive any?

When the going gets tough, remember that help is on the way.  All you have to do is ask.

"God will help us become the people we are meant to be, if only we will ask Him." - Hannah Whitall Smith
