The wonderful thing about God is he knows what we need to persuade us.
For all prayer is answered. Don't tell God how to answer it.
If you can't trust the Bible's history, how can you trust its morality?
I serve a major God who definitely has the last say on my life.
Close your eyes and see what you believe.
He that taketh his own cares upon himself loads himself in vain with an uneasy burden. I will cast all my cares on God; He hath bidden me; they cannot burden Him.
God is at work in all the circumstances of your life to bring out the good for you, even if you had never heard of Romans 8:28. His work is not dependent upon your faith. But the comfort and joy that statement is intended to give you is dependent upon your believing it, upon your trusting in Him who is at work, even though you cannot see the outcome of that work.
Divine Intelligence working through me always knows just what I need and always supplies it when I need it.
I once asked God what I could give him. "Your problems," he said. "I've got everything else.
God has made me desire always what he most wants to give me.
People are made for happiness. Rightly, then, you thirst for happiness. Christ has the answer to this desire of yours. But he asks you to trust him.

Prayer should be short, without giving God Almighty reasons why he should grant this, or that; he knows best what is good for us.

You can't trust God to be unmerciful. There you have the beginning of all wisdom.
I live in the faith that there is a Presence and Power greater than I am that nurtures and supports me in ways I could not even imagine. I know that this Presence is All knowing and All Power and is Always right where I am
To God there is nothing small. The moment we have given it to God, it becomes infinite.
It is not great faith, but true faith, that saves; and the salvation lies not in the faith, but in the Christ in whom faith trusts...It is not the measure of faith, but the sincerity of faith, which is the point to be considered.
My gut feelings and my faith tell me that until God shuts a door, no human can shut it.
That God cannot lie, is no advantage to your argument, because it is no proof that priests can not, or that the Bible does not.
If God sees that my spiritual life will be furthered by giving the things for which I ask, then He will give them, but that is not the end of prayer. The end of prayer is that I come to know God Himself.
Our Lord never referred to unanswered prayer. He taught that prayers are always answered: “Everyone who asks receives”. And He implied that prayers are answered rightly because of the heavenly Father's wisdom: “Your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him”.
Our Heavenly Father always sends His children the things they ask, or better things.
