This is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — Ephesians 2:8

This verse teaches about the power of prayer combined with faith. Jesus is saying that prayer is not just about asking, but about trusting God while we ask. “To believe” means to trust God completely—believing that He hears us and knows what is best. When our prayers come from real faith, they are aligned with God’s will, not just our own desires. This verse does not mean that God will give us anything we want without limits. Instead, it means that when we pray with faith, humility, and obedience, God will answer in the way that is best for us—sometimes with “yes,” sometimes with “wait,” and sometimes with “no.” The main message is that faith turns prayer into a relationship, not a formula. When we trust God fully, we can pray confidently, knowing He will respond according to His perfect wisdom
