God Provides

The Lord our God is a loving God and a giving God. As His child, you have been given the right to boldly enter His throne room and make your requests known to Him. He instructs you to ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you. So let your requests be known unto Him. Pray to the Lord to give you what you need according to His will and leave the rest in His hands.

God says, “Everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds.”

But remember that it is not as simple as just asking for whatever you desire. The Lord hears those who are lowly and pure of heart and not from those who have an ulterior motive or seek to gain something for themselves. When coming to the Lord, you must come with His will in mind, asking what you believe is needed with His plan and purpose in mind and not your own.

If you seek to fulfill His will in your life for the growth of His kingdom or for the good of others, this pleases Him. If this is your goal, whatever you ask for, He will give it to you according to His will.

Remember also that He may have a particular plan for your life. It may not be what you had in mind, but His plan is always better. He may delay the request because you require more refinement and growth to handle what you may receive. But be assured, He will surely answer when the time is right.

So keep your heart pure, your motivation for His ways. Keep your integrity firm to follow His commands, and bring your request to Him. Then, be patient; His plans are always the best. You will receive what you ask for in His time when you ask with humility and boldly go to the Throne of Grace.

And Jesus said to them, “Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves, for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him;’ and he will answer from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything?’ 

I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his impudence, he will rise and give him whatever he needs. And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Luke 11:5-10
