Day 8

Matthew 21:22 ~ “If you have faith, you will receive whatever you pray for.” (CEB)

My son came to me and said, “Mommy, I would ask you something, but you’re gonna say no so, nevermind.” My response to him was, “Well, if you already think I’m going to say no, then the answer is no”. It made me mad that he would automatically assume that I wouldn’t give him what he was asking for, but it made me think. This is how we do God sometimes. We want to ask Him for something, a promotion at work, a new car or home, maybe a financial increase, but we don’t because we don’t think He’ll grant the request. We are reminded in this verse that ALL we need to have is faith, and we’ll get what we’ve been praying for. It’s ours for the asking! God is willing to grant us whatever our hearts desire, but if we don’t have the faith to believe He’ll do it, why would He even bother? He is not a man that He would lie. Pray believing…don’t doubt…and you’ll receive it!
