Why do we find it so hard to believe that God will answer our prayers? I ask this as one who does find it hard.

Recently with the start of school, the girls have been asking for some things that they need and I jump to attend to it, a new calculator? Absolutely! , new shoes, no problem and of course making sure there is something nice for tea when they get back, now I am sure this will wear off in a couple of weeks but its all about wanting to help them with starting school, its all about loving them. If I jump to meet these requests, and I am only me with limited funds, and baking abilities because I love them, how much more will God meet our requests , he who loves us and can do more than we can imagine?

 

"Would any of you who are fathers give your son a stone when he asks for bread? Or would you give him a snake when he asks for a fish? Bad as you are, you know how to give good things to your children. How much more then will your father in heaven give good things to those who ask him!" Matthew 6 vs 9-11
