Saturday Prayer: Needs and Wants

Father, I confess I've confused needs with wants, treating my preferences as your promises. I've claimed you would provide what I want, then felt betrayed when you didn't deliver according to my expectations. I've called my desires needs and my wants necessities.

Teach me to distinguish between what I actually need and what I simply want. Help me bring both to you honestly - my needs with confidence in your provision, my wants with surrender to your wisdom. When you provide differently than I requested, help me trust you know better than I do what I truly need.

My greatest need is you - your presence, your grace, your strength for whatever you're calling me to face. Everything else is secondary. When I'm tempted to panic about circumstances, remind me that you've never failed to provide what I actually needed. Help me be content with your provision, trusting that if I don't have something, either I don't need it or the timing isn't right. You are enough. Help me believe that today.

Saturday Read: Needs Versus Wants

Paul wrote to the Philippians from prison: "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19). This promise sounds wonderful until you realize Paul wrote it while imprisoned, probably chained to a guard, facing possible execution. I

All You Need

I know exactly what you need - not just what you want, but what you actually need. And I promise to supply it all according to My riches, not according to your resources. You're not limited by your bank account or your circumstances. My supply doesn't run out. Trust Me with your needs.
