If God is for us, who can be against us?

I always forget that whenever you ask something of God, be it love, humility, happiness or whatever, 90% of the time He will not simply hand it over.

There's always a process; there's always a lesson to be learned. There's always a situation that arises that forces you to choose what you asked for or not.

Will you be humble in your dealings with this person's actions or not? Will you choose to be happy and grateful in this situation or not?

Our crosses may be heavy at times, but we have to remember: if God is for us, who can be against us?

EDIT: I was praying earlier and I realized something. We always ask for things from God, but rarely (well at least for me) do we ask for God to help us get them. We ask for humility and happiness rather than asking God to help us be humble and joyful.

I dunno, this may be just me, but I feel like it makes a lot more of a difference between asking for something and asking God to help you with something.
