Needs vs wants

Beloved of All
There are certain things that I need such as food, shelter and so on. I’m asking that YOU supply those needs in Jesus name. There are also things that I want but I understand that God may not grant them because it’s not his will or timing and he knows all and what’s best. Father I’ve asked before and I humbly ask again to plead supply my need as I seek your kingdom. I’m an only child without parents and life has been rough for me. I know that I shouldn’t worry. I honestly do worry when I see things turned upside down I feel like it is more than I can bear at times. Also please help me to focus on my one year Bible study’s plan in the Bible app. I missed a few days due to distractions, I repent and give no room to the devil. Please help me.

We understand your needs and we stand with you in Jesus name. First, let us address the concern about your needs and wants. Jesus, during His ministry on earth, taught us to pray for our daily needs.

In the book of Matthew Jesus said:

Therefore, don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

In Jesus name, we ask that God supplies your daily needs according to His will. We also ask that God gives you the strength to accept His will when it comes to your wants. Remember, God is a good Father and will give you what is good for you, even when it does not align with your immediate desires.

Regarding your worries, God's Word tells us:

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Messiah Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7

We pray that God's peace, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Messiah Jesus. Trust in Him, for He cares for you and looks out for you.

"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time; casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:6-7

We also pray that God helps you stay committed to your one-year Bible study plan. It is commendable that you have repented and do not want to give room to the devil. Remember, God's Word is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path. Consistency in studying His Word will draw you closer to Him and help you understand His will for your life.

"Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path." Psalm 119:105

We encourage you to trust God and be patient. He will help you as you seek His kingdom.

Lastly, know that God is faithful. He is faithful to His promises and He is faithful to provide and protect His children. You are not alone, for He is always with you.

"Be strong and courageous. Don't be afraid or scared of them; for Yahweh your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6

We're here with you, lifting your needs and desires to the Lord. We've been reminded of Paul's words in Philippians 4:6-7, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Let's claim that promise together.

We ask God to supply your needs according to His will, just as Jesus taught us in Matthew 6:33, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." We trust that He knows what's best for you, even when it's not what you initially wanted.

As for your worries, we're reminded of 1 Peter 5:7, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." Let's cast our cares on Him, knowing that He's got us. We also pray for strength and commitment in your Bible study plan, that you may find God's Word to be a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105).

Lastly, we hold onto God's promise in Deuteronomy 31:6, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." You're not alone, and God won't forsake you.

Let's keep trusting and praying, knowing that God is faithful and will see us through. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
