7-11 “Don’t bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need. This isn’t a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we’re in. If your child asks for bread, do you trick him with sawdust? If he asks for fish, do you scare him with a live snake on his plate? As bad as you are, you wouldn’t think of such a thing. You’re at least decent to your own children. So don’t you think the God who conceived you in love will be even better?”
As bad as you are, even YOU would do something good for your own child, wouldn’t you? Of course, you would! So, how much more would your heavenly father do for you if you asked? The answer, of course, is a lot! For the times that you doubt, and wonder, and worry, and waste your time and energy, remember this promise.
