When we consider our needs, we need to be mindful that what we think we need is indeed what we need. We also need to bear in mind that our GOD is loving, giving, gracious, forgiving and most of all HE is our CREATOR FATHER.
A father knows what his children need. And usually a diligent father gives his children what they need without spoiling them and with the plan in mind to bring up good solid people of character who can go out into the world and make their own way.
So it is with GOD. We are all given free will to do exactly as we please, regardless of what we should be doing. Therefore when we pray to GOD we need to bear in mind that GOD will give us what is good for us and what is in line with HIS plan for our lives. Also HE asks that we accept the enormous sacrifice HE made for us in sending HIS Son to die for us.
So GOD has given judgement over to Jesus. No one is going to the FATHER except through Jesus. That is well documented and we are not going to go into depth about that here.
Suffice to say that when we ask GOD to give us what we think we need and those prayers are unanswered, perhaps the reason is that GOD does not want us to have that and HE knows much better what we need than ourselves!
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, thank YOU for YOUR enormous grace. FATHER where I ask for things and YOU know that I should not be granted those things, please forgive me. I trust in YOU FATHER. I know that YOU know me better than I know myself. I pray today, FATHER that you forgive me my sins as I forgive those who sin against me. I pray all of this in the Holy Name of my Lord and Saviour, my Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay graciously GOD blessed today.
