Yea, Nay.

Jesus Christ has approved two responses for our daily living. It is desirable to get yes when we are looking for solutions. But getting no is not a sign of ill-luck or impossibility. The divine declaration in the book of Matthew 5:37 is a direct statement from the mouth of God. He has made life simple. All our expectations are to be guided by these simple words (yes or no).

Yes is fantastic and no is superb. Yes and no are for our benefits. Anything outside these two responses is evil. 

Yes because there are things that we can control. These are things that we can do within the capacities of being human. No because there are things we cannot determine. There are things beyond our control. Our desires for them changes nothing. There are things that God has determined and our desires or wishes cannot change them.

Human beings cannot live and survive inside water. You do not need to pray God to permit you to live in a river or inside an ocean for the rest of your life. I am fairly sure that God will not grant that request. The aquatic habitat is for fishes and other aquatic beings, not for human beings. 

Take all advantages that come from yes and ignore what you think could be the possible benefits of no.

Understand all those things that God has categorized as yes then align with them. Understand those things that God has grouped under no and avoid them. With this practice, life becomes simple and seamlessly easy.
