In scripture are we to more faith in God, or in His promises. Is it God's character or His promises that assures us of His care and provision for us? [Matthew 6:25-34, Matthew 6:33, Psalm 34:9-10, Psalm 84:11, Psalm 37:35].
Since the Bible says "ask and you will receive" without qualification, so why should we not take it at face value? [Matthew 7:7-11, Luke 11:9, Psalm 84:11].
Is there a disclaimer to all the verses that seem to imply that we will get all the things we ask for in prayer? [Matthew 5:45, 6:9, 7:7-9, Luke 22:42, I John 5:14, John 15:7, John 11, Psalm 34:10, 84:11].
