God Provides for all of our needs! Even though we may think that God doesn't care about what we want...He does. Here are some verses to prove it:
- And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19
- Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. Matthew 6:31-32
- Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! Luke 12:24
There are many more, but those are the ones that stick out to me when I think of how God provides!
There are many times I have thought that God NEVER listens to my prayers, and that He NEVER wants anything good to happen to me. THAT IS NOT TRUE. That is the doubt in this sinful nature that is wanting you to believe that. Lets make a table of our needs and wants:
Wants
|
Needs( and what we have)
|
A new basketball
|
Water
|
The soccer medal
|
Food
|
A phone
|
Shelter
|
A pet
|
Family
|
A bike
|
God
|
A better grade on a test
|
Clothes
|
Earrings
|
Toys
|
AND MANY MORE THINGS TO COUNT!

I noticed that all of the needs are WAY MORE important than the wants...you see it is not bad to want these things...It is if we always complain and always have our minds on the wants, rather than pay attention to what God has already given us.
The best gift that God has given us is HIS SON JESUS CHRIST!
That is really all we need because without Him we wouldn't have Eternal life, forgiveness, love, and so many more things! By the time we get to heaven all of those wants and even needs won't matter...all that will matter is GOD, OUR TRUE PROVIDER!
Great job, Alyssa! Yes, He is our faithful Provider now and always! I'm proud of you :)
