Dear Child...

DAY 5 OF 7

No

Dear child,

I love blessing you. You know that I'm a caring father, and I always give you what you really need. However, I know that you aren't happy with me when I don't grant you certain things that you ask me. Maybe you think that I'm ignoring your prayer. Son, I want you to understand that "no" is also an answer. There are things that I cannot give you because you are not ready yet. There are things that I cannot give you because you would depend more on them than on me. There are things that I don't give you because you have not earned them and you have to work for them. I'm not a bad father, I am a father who loves you and protects you. I give you what I know you need. Imagine that a mother allowed her son to do whatever he wanted, or gave him whatever he asked for. Eventually the child would grow up without limits, without rules, and would become greedy, wanting more and more without thinking about others. As a parent who loves you, I want the best for you, and sometimes a "no" is what can save your soul. I've never failed you, and neither will I. I'll give you more than you ask for, but when it's necessary. I love you, son, although for now, my answer is no.

 Sincerely, your Father.

About this Plan

Dear Child...

When we pray, we expect an immediate response from God. Wouldn't you like to speak and have the Lord answer you right after your prayer? The truth is that we can hear the voice of God through his word. In this plan we will see our Father's answer even clearer in the light of the Bible.
