Love this and how its worded from my study this morning. Misconception: Prayer helps pry riches out of Gods reluctant hands. Some pray as if prayer is the means of cajoling God into releasing His carefully hoarded riches. PRAYER IS NOT OVERCOMING GODS RELUCTANCE, BUT LAYING HOLD OF GODS WILLINGNESS. God offers us His resources. He invites us to take His gifts. He does not have to be convinced to let go of His blessings. His Word says that He lavishes on us the riches of His grace (Ephesians 1:7-8) and that He lavishes His love on us (1 John 3:1). He is extravagant in His gifts. He pours them out. Scripture never uses language that would portray God as stingy or hesitant to give. Instead we read that He richly blesses all who call on him (Romans 10:12). Giving you every good thing gives Him joy; it delights Him. His heart is set on you to do you good.
