God answers the prayer that accomplishes his will, that pleases him. For this reason, it seems easier to believe God for things when I'm teaching a Sunday school class, or being otherwise preoccupied with my Father's business. It also seems easier to have faith that God will provide things like the financial support for a short term missionary trip.
But God is not selfish. God gave his own Son to die on the Cross for us. That is, he put our wishes above his own. And that led me to this thought:
God is even MORE APT to do that which blesses us than he is to do those things that please himself.
Romans 8:32, "He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?"
Wow. How does that affect your view of an abundant life?
