Receive from God

Do you know how to receive from God? The Bible makes it simple and clear. Faith receives from God. Faith is confidence and trust in God. It's not faith in our faith. It's confidence in God. It's confidence in the promises of God found in your Bible. 

Prayer is not trying to change God's good will. It's changing our will to receive from his goodness. God is a loving, compassionate, and kind Father. He is not reluctant to do good things in the lives of all of his children. No good thing does he withhold from his children. 

Trust God as your Father. Put your confidence in his ability to do good things in your life. Trust his mercy and grace. Understand that we are not on a merit system in God's family. Grace is his unmerited favor. Let the Father love you and do good things in your life.

Do you trust God as your Father? Come to him with confidence through Jesus Christ. Pray to your Father through the name of Jesus. Receive from God.

"So, you see, it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him" (Hebrews 11:6, NLT).
