Human often find it hard to believe that God protects and saves us according to His grace. We tend to try to protect ourselves with our own ways.
When I thought, "my foot slips," your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up. Ps 94:18
Watch and pray that you may not enter temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Mk 14:38
Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall. 1 Cor. 10:12
If we are faithless, he remains faithful. 2 Tim. 2:13
With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. Mt 19:26
Jesus model for prayer teaches us first to get in harmony with the divine purpose. Once you understand that, you won't treat God as if He were some utilitarian genie who is stuck granting your wishes because He promised you riches in Christ - and you won't view prayer quite as selfishly. - 'Lord, teach me to pray', John MacArthur
