God provides what one could not, not what one, would not!
A person is entitled to have faith after once he or she done all within ones power. ~ Brigham Young on Faith.
2 Nephi 25
23 For we labor diligently to write, to persuade our children, and also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do.
Resty, resty - have you not read this book completely through?
A person is entitled to have faith after once he or she done all within ones power. ~ Brigham Young on Faith.
How does a person KNOW that they have done "every thing in their power"?
God provides what one could not, not what one, would not!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Kinda of like...
I did everything I could thing of...I even prayed ????
What’s with the entitlement to faith...
Is it doled out like a government bennie ????
Whats wrong with just having faith to start with...
If you are desparately needing an answer from God you could die before you got started in the asking bit if you “waited”
Faith is not something you “earn”
Now, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen Hebrews 11:1
But without faith it is immpossible to please Him (God), for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him Hebrews 11:6
You said “it is by grace that we are saved”
But then you added to the scripture...
“after all we can do”
No, salvation is not what you can do...but what Jesus did for you..you cant save yourself..
The BIBLE scripture reads..
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2:8
Gift, Resty, gift...
That means, Jesus did everything needful for your salvation, said “It is finished” and GAVE it to you...
Not of works, lest any man should boast Ephesians 2:9
That’s why there’s nothing you can do to be saved...it’s not your doing...only God’s...
Jesus did it all..
