Why do we compromise when we pray to God

Published by dzanang at 7:03 pm under reflection Edit This

Does God need anything from us? Does He need our money to support His work? When we ask God to give us a job, do we compromise with a vow like we will give our first month pay back to Him through church as an investment. And then sooner or later we find a job. If we didn’t compromise to give something back, does it mean we won’t find a job through God’s help? Did God provide that job because He will get something back in return?

Sometimes I think that we misrepresent God or misinterpret Him. We think that God is doing us a favor in exchange of something. But our God provides without expecting something back. He doesn’t need to be bribed to answer our prayers.

I think I have learned a very good lesson from this experience of mine. God provides because He loves us so.
