Many of us have gone through phases where we try to bargain with God. You know, the "God just get me out of this one thing this one time and I'll..."
"Help me pass this test I didn't study for; don't let the teacher remember to call my parents..."
But what happens when we beg Him for something we perceive is good? When we fast and pray, crying out on our knees before Him to heal a broken heart, to fix a broken marriage, to repair a damaged relationship?
After all, it's not like we're begging Him for a new sports car or a lump of cash. No, we're pleading for something that by any stretch of the imagination is a good thing.
So what happens when the answer is no?
