God: “Ask Me Anything”

There is a recurring pattern in Scripture that has captured my facination.
We often see scenes where kings or even God Himself estends an open invitation, “Ask me anything,” their response are rarely as lofty as the offer itself. They rarely asked for the life of their enemies, nor for half the kingdom, nor for personal comfort. Instead, they often asked for something that revealed the condition of their hearts.

Take Solomon, for instance.
When God appeared to him in a dream saying, “Ask what I shall give you” (1 Kings 3:5), Solomon didn’t rush into ambition or vengeance. He asked for wisdom — a discerning heart to govern well. His request was not self-seeking; it was aligned with divine purpose. And God, pleased with the purity of that desire, gave him more than he asked for — riches, honour, and peace in his days.

But in stark contrast, there was Salome, Herod’s daughter in Mark 6:21–28. Offered that same royal favour; “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you, even to half my kingdom”. Prompted by her mother, she however asked for the head of John the Baptist. One request came from a heart aligned with God’s purposes; the other, from a heart corrupted by vengeance. Both had access. Only one used it righteously.

This is what I’ve been meditating on; the true meaning of access to the King. Whether it’s access to God, to authority, or to influence, the “Ask Me Anything” moment is not a test of opportunity, it’s a test of heart. When we’re granted this access, what do we ask for? What occupies the forefront of our petitions?

In our world, access is often seen as privilege: having the ear of leaders, the number of influential people in our phones, or a seat at important tables. Yet, in the Kingdom, access is not a symbol of arrival; it is a test of alignment and trust. God will never entrust “the ear of the king” to a heart still driven by lust, envy, or self-preservation. He will not hand over the key to the city to one who still burns with self-interest.

That’s why even when we pray, “Lord, give me favour before kings,” heaven’s response is often not instant access but inner refinement. God trains our hearts before He grants us influence. He purges our motives, reshapes our desires, and aligns our asking with His purpose. And even when we have access, there is a constant watch over the state of our hearts to weigh our intentions, for God is a God of Knowledge.

So maybe “Ask Me Anything” is not merely giving an open-ended license but a divine heart test, like an invitation for God to weigh our desires against His intentions. It’s as though He says, “Let Me see what you will ask for now that you have My attention.”

It is an invitation of self discovery before the throne. It is not the freedom to request anything, but the revelation of whether we understand what is truly worth asking for.

When Esther stood before King Ahasuerus, he said to her,

“What is your request? It shall be given you, even to half of the kingdom.” (Esther 5:3)

Yet, Esther did not ask for wealth or power. She asked for a banquet, for a space for purpose to unfold. Her restraint was wisdom. Her timing was faith. And through that divine restraint, an entire nation was saved.

So, when God says to you today, “Ask Me Anything,” pause before you speak.
Examine what rises in your heart first. Is it vengeance? Is it validation? Or is it vision? Maybe the point was never the question, but the heart revealed through your answer.

Because in the end, divine access isn’t about what we can get from the King; it’s about what the King can trust us with.

Why I Finally Started This Blog

I remember one quiet afternoon many years ago, I went on a Date with Destiny.

I had walked into the old Botanical Garden in Calabar, Cross River State. Once a bustling zoo, it had gradually become a tranquil corridor of trees and time, after the animals were moved elsewhere. That day, I came with a drink in hand and questions in my heart, ready to commune with nature and the parts of me I often ignored.

I’ve always carried an inner compass. A gentle guide that whispers what to do, where to go, and when to wait. And on that day, I was seeking clarity about my life’s central question:
“What is the one thing - that if I did it fully - I would have fulfilled destiny?”

I sat with that question in the stillness of the trees, and I left with an answer, clear as light: I was born to write.

And suddenly, it all made sense. Writing has always been the most natural, most familiar thing. It didn’t matter the format; whether it was journaling my prayers, crafting strategy memos at work, or composing lengthy reflections, I came alive when I wrote.

But life kept moving. And I kept deferring.

Each year brought its own demands — career progress, projects, success. On paper, everything looked right. I had no lack. My steps were ordered. But inwardly, something was always missing. A quiet ache I could no longer silence.
Not for a better job. Not even for a new season. But for obedience to the call I kept postponing.

I began to realize I was like the people God spoke to through Haggai. (Haggai 1:2-9). Building everything else. Neglecting the House of the Lord within me.

This blog, these words, they are my act of obedience.

Not to showcase, not to perform, not to prove anything.
But to build the altar I left in ruins.
To give voice to what God has always whispered in me.
To return.

What This Blog Is — and Isn’t:

It’s not a portfolio.
It’s not a side project.
It’s not a step on a personal brand ladder.

It is a place of language , to say what’s often felt but rarely voiced. It’s where I make sense of the ways I see the world: through faith, through purpose, through growth, through work, and through womanhood.

This blog is a quiet rebellion against performance. It’s an invitation to reflect, to realign, to remember.

I’ll share stories, some that sound like prayers, my posts may trigger questions that wait with you in the dark. And reflections that linger long after the scroll has ended. I don’t know where this path will lead , only that the time has come to walk it.

So whether you’re here by divine accident or a long-followed breadcrumb, I’m honored to have you.

May these words feel like home.
Let’s grow together.

Sary Moonchild.
