Yesterday, I wrote about the most important need in God’s eyes…to focus on Him. That same morning, He showed me another view of the “prayer need” exchange.
When I go to God with my list of prayer needs, it’s like me as a kid going to my Daddy with all these things I need. “Daddy, I’ve got this need, this needs to be paid, I need help doing this, I have this pain, that needs to be taken care of, this is broken, my friend needs your help……..”. Then my Daddy says to me,”Son, I’ll take care of it. Just turn it all over to me. I’ve got unlimited resources and power, I’ll handle it all. I love you so just give it to me and don’t worry about it!” “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Matthew 6:25“.
That’s comforting. God is telling me to just hand it all over to Him and don’t think any more about. Then we can spend quality time together just “walking in the garden in the cool of the day”, Genesis 3:8. That’s what He wanted all along anyway.
