I just thought .... The title of my thread is a bit strong and am surprised no body picked up on it. You all are so polite and non judgemental . That's why I love it here.

But really , Dusty, God does not make us ask him and like ,Ramsey said .... He gives us a free will and that is so important that we don't abuse that free will.

Another thing to think about is that when you pray for something, and God answers with a "yes" what does it do to your faith?

Obviously, it builds it...what is you never had to ask? No faithbuilding excercise....

He always reserves the right to say no. He is always going to do what is right and just and He can simply deny the request.
Very very true !! This adds up to my post about free will, it really makes me feel that He is indeed my true Father, taking care of us so much Being so powerful and amazing!

When I stopped fighting and gave it up, when I made sure that everything that I did was for the glory of the Lord...that's when the suffering for me stopped. God gave me a house, a car, a good job. He filled my pantry with so much food that I couldn't close the cupboards anymore. He gave me enough to start sharing with people around me.
Wow bro, this really motivates me, Praise God for this !!!!!!!!

Ramsey - just keep in mind, He wants to bless you! He's waiting to bless you. He loves you soooo much! He's our Father. Fall down and worship Him because He only wants good things for you, my brother!

You're so blessed, my friend. You have an amazing journey and powerful testimony ahead, I'm sure.
