Ask Only For What You Need Now

Good Morning!! Pray,...and as you do,  be aware that God has not abandoned you. Realize that even when we experience pain and uncertainty, it does not change God's love for us. God is still the same loving and caring God you've always known. As we struggled with physical frailties, we must learn to appreciate and understand all the more, how wonderful it is to recognize the need God in our life. You should realize that health and wellness are gifts from God; yet even without them, we are saved and redeemed through faith in Jesus Christ.

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.—Psalm 4: 8 (NIV)

When we pray, "Give us this day our daily bread," (Mt. 6;11),...we're shutting tomorrow out. We can't live for a tomorrow that may never come,...but for today, the only we thing truly have. We shouldn't look for tomorrow's grace, or tomorrow's bread. Those who live in the present thrive best,...and get the most of our life. And those who pray best, pray for today's, not tomorrow's needs.  Our prayer for tomorrow and it's needs may be unnecessary because they may not exist at all.

"A simple, confiding faith, lived out day by day, will drive fear away.

A faith that casts its burdens on the Lord each hour of the day will drive away misgivings and deliver from doubt." (Prayer and Spiritual Warfare, E.M. Bounds, p. 19-20)

Because God wants us to follow Him by faith,...He often does not tell us everything, or show us the whole picture." (From Dream to Destiny, Robert Morris, p. 115)

" What you believe about life ,will determine how you perceive life,
...and what you receive from it."
