Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.
James 1:17, NASB
God does not change nor tempt with evil.
He only gives good gifts, generally to all, but specifically to His people. Most specifically, He gives grace and salvation.
The Lord’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23, NASB
Life is tough.
Yet, we should focus on how He takes care of us and blesses us every day, especially His saving us from our sins.
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
Romans 10:17, NASB
How can others come to faith in Christ unless we tell them?
The Father enjoys using His faithful children to spread the gospel of His Son.
I wait for the Lord , my soul does wait, And in His word do I hope.
Psalms 130:5, NASB
Our circumstances change. Our understanding of the world and people change.
But God and His word do not change. We trust in the God who reveals Himself in Scripture.
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
1 John 5:14, NASB
God may give us things we ask for out of selfish desire, but as we draw closer to Him we will find our desires matching up ever more with His. Then God will always grant us our requests, because we want the same thing.
Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way And the unrighteous man his thoughts; And let him return to the Lord , And He will have compassion on him, And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.
Isaiah 55:6-7, NASB
Death is end of chances to seek God. He can be found during this life only. After death, He finds you, but not for salvation. Only His wrath remains.
Instead, turn to Him today, and forsake your selfish desires and thoughts to receive God’s compassion and grace.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
James 4:8, NASB
When we submit to God, we are drawn closer to Him, and we continue drawing near to Him through prayer, reading Scripture, meeting with other Christians, and serving others.
And we will see our character change in the process.
You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13, NASB
When life gets hard and uncertain, look for God, how He is moving and acting in every situation. He is there. You will find Him if you search in earnest.
Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
1 John 4:15, ESV
If confess and believe that Jesus is the Son of God, God incarnate – God in the flesh, fully God and fully man – and that He lived a perfect life to die as our atonement on the cross and then rise back to life …
… you are saved. God dwells in you through the Holy Spirit to the glory of the Father.
