In our day and age every thing has a cost. Even walking into a McDonald's or Wendy's we have to pay for a water cup. Because of this concept surrounding us we seem to feel that Heavenly Father is the same way. We fall into the trap that we are not DOING enough to RECEIVE the blessing. The works of man and the works of God are different.
Heavenly Father knows the true intentions our heart. His
son Jesus Christ went through all our pains so he would know how to help
us during the time of trouble. No matter the situation he ALWAYS
wants to hear from us. I think we tend to look at prayer similar to
how we think of a bank account. There are deposits (putting forth our
effort to know him aka: prayer, scriptures
& church ) and then there are withdrawals (seeking for answers to
prayer and blessings). With a bank account we must put in at least the
equivalent or more for what we take out. Prayer is not that way. We
deposit to show our effort to learn the importance of saving. Jesus
Christ has already paid the debt.
I know that as we continually reach out to our Heavenly Father we will feel of his love and he will help us. No matter what circumstance we are in. All he wants from us is to share love with our fellow brothers and sisters. Whatever the material thing may be the cost of Christs Atonement is always greater.
