Praying Is Not Begging

God is moved by faith and faith does not beg. Begging is fearful and does not understand the heart and will of God. The will of God is to heal everyone through the operation of faith. We gain knowledge of God’s will through His promises in the Bible and once they are settled deep in our hearts, faith is created. When we release that faith He moves on our behalf.

His blessing does not come because He loves someone enough or more than someone else. He loves everyone in the world exactly the same. But those who have faith are the ones who will receive. It is His system. He set it up that way, and is generous with His mercy.

Faith does not beg. Seeking God and crying out for Him to work in our lives is different from, begging. One who knows God can ultimately will work, and the other is fearful that He will not work and pleads for Him to change His mind. Seeking God shows perseverance and has a foundation of faith. Begging has a measure of manipulation within it. -“If I just show God that I really need it maybe He will work on my behalf.”

Begging also carries a component of shame. We beg from someone who may be indifferent to our situation and may be able to help.

God is not moved by our needs. He is moved by our faith. He is touched by our needs but He responds to our faith.
