Is God Providing Your Needs

Is God Providing Your Needs "Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrews 4:16 Are all your needs met today? If not, you should be asking yourself, why not? According to the Word of God, it’s either because you’re not praying about them at all, or because when you do pray, you’re praying wrong. What does it mean to pray wrong? In many cases it simply means to pray without expecting results. Many believers do that, as they pray not expecting God to really answer their prayers. They just play around with it. “This probably won’t do much good,” they think, “but who knows? It won’t hurt to give it a try.” If that’s your attitude, then change it! Start getting serious about prayer. Stop praying just because it’s proper. Stop praying just because you always pray at this point in the church service or before you go to bed, and start praying to get results. Start praying in the name of Jesus, according to the Word of God, and expecting to receive what you ask for every single time. Isn’t that a little presumptuous? No, but it is bold, and you have a scriptural right to be bold. According to the scripture above you should approach God with confidence, and expecting to get your needs met. You should pray with a thankful heart, that God has given you all that you need. So often we can pray, asking God for our wants and desires, and things that we don't really need. It would be nice to pray and have all our wants and desires met, but these things may not be in the plan that God has for us. God knows what we need, and will provide it in his time frame. We must remember that God's time is not our time, but He does promise that in His time He hears our prayers and will provide all that we need.
