God's generosity is a gift you receive by faith. In Romans 4, Paul distinguishes wages from grace; in Matthew 20, the vineyard workers resent a landowner who gives freely to those who arrived last. You may be secure in your salvation and still feel you must pray enough to deserve God's help. That pressure can turn prayer into a bargain and the Father into an employer. Receive what Christ has supplied, enjoy fellowship with the Father, and let your work and generosity flow from gratitude.
