⁷ "Don't bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need. ⁸ This isn't a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we're in. ⁹ If your child asks for bread, do you trick him with sawdust? ¹⁰ If he asks for fish, do you scare him with a live snake on his plate? ¹¹ As bad as you are, you wouldn't think of such a thing. You're at least decent to your own children. So don't you think the God who conceived you in love will be even better?
