Because He understands our needs…..

Sometimes I don’t even know what is good for me. See, many times I’ve prayed because of a need I had or a deep desire I was feeling. But now I know, I can no longer pray that way. I must always pray “according to His will”. That’s God’s perfect will that is profoundly listed in his word and also persistently presented to us by his Spirit.

By no means am I “good like that” and just really able to let go of what I want. In fact, I’m quite the opposite, very stubborn and know how to hold onto something for dear life especially if “I just really love it”. I am certainly not the girl who has it all together, but I’m learning that another way of “laying down my life” is in the way I pray.

What I’m trying to say is, that God knows and understands my needs way more than I do. I remember at 13 years old, I laid eyes on this:  Psalms 34 vs 10 says: The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing. Sometimes I experience intense times of suffering because I feel like I’m lacking something. Not to minimize the reality of how I’m feeling or the sincerity of what is happening in my heart- but he understands my needs and truly see what they are. I need to know that as long as I seek him I am not lacking anything that is good. He brings the right things at the right times, regardless of how things may seem. So in times or waiting and wanting, seek him.

Here’s my verse for today: Ps 34 vs 10

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.

Either I’m going to believe that or I’m not. Either the Bible is true or it’s not. That’s a decision I must make….and I choose to believe it.
