God is rich in mercy to all who call on him. Imagine all we do as human beings that is contrary to God's word and yet he still loves us and forgives our sins when we ask for forgiveness. That shows how full of Mercy and Love our God is.
James 4:2 & 3 says you desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. YOU DO NOT HAVE BECAUSE YOU DO NOT ASK. You ask and do not receive BECAUSE YOU ASK WRONGLY, to spend on your own passions.
Sometimes we misinterpret the scriptures to suit our own desires, but God has made it clear in his word. When you ask God for something, have you searched your heart to check your motivation? Are you asking because you saw someone else with it? or because you would like to be seen that you have? or do you really need what you are asking for? Also having what you are asking for, will it draw you closer to God or away from God, will you be glorifying God with it? Is it a want or a need?
Because God loves us so much, I believe some of the things we ask for and do not get are actually for our benefit. I have several instances where in hindsight I see why my prayers were not answered while in actual sense God did answer just not in the way I wanted.
Life's problems remind us to call on God.
If our life was smooth sailing, would we need God in our life, would we remember to pray and thank God?
I thank God for what I have gone through in life, it has made me get closer to him, though I may not have realized this when I was going through hard times, reflecting back on those moments show me how God cares for me.
What ever you may be going through right now, trust God for your future and serve him now. Remember God loves you and care for you. Jeremiah 29:11 sums it al up
