"Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps if you're not willing to move your feet."

its true sometimes we want God to solve all our problems and take away our sadness and we want and want and want from God but yet we do not give any in return... is that fair?!?!? lets say not just wit God but if you had a friend that only called u when they needed something and only when they were in trouble and needed your help... would you want to pick up their call or help them out? personally i'm trying to be a better person, but to that friend that only calls me when they need a favor or are in a jam... i'm gonna get tired of picking up their phone calls... especially if when I CALL THEM and they do not want to hear me or just ignore me... i would be soo angry! but our Lord is soo forgiving that he will forgive us but it is not fair for you to call him only when u need help... and when he asks of us.. we are not willing to give back...

if you ask something from God and he does not answer your prayer... maybe you should think about what u r giving to him or if u have ever given anything to him... he wants a relationship wit us... he is my father and he wants his daughter to love him and i do with all my heart but i should not abuse the love my father has for me with only wants and wants instead of needs.... instead of praying for more money, better car, better house... ppl should be grateful to have a home or to have a car even if its not a 2008 lexus... and pray for the people who are homeless.. pray for the children who are hungry... pray for the people who are dying and no one is helping them.... if u say a prayer and its not about ur wants but its about someone else's needs trust me it makes you feel sooo good inside... bcuz u stop thinking just about yourself and u think about other ppl who need a lot more prayers than u do.... and remember to give back to our father by having a relationship wit him through communication... reading the bible... and making a sacrifice like fasting and its sooo amazing how just 3 lil things can change ur life! and our God will not feel just used when ppl are in trouble but he will realize that u do love him like he LOVES US :O)
