Main Thought
Sometimes, we become anxious or worried when our minds dwell on the things we need. Did you know that God is aware of our needs too? While we should work hard, we should also acknowledge God as our ultimate provider. He knows what we need and when to give it to us. We can come to God and confess our needs to Him. He’s a Good Father who wants to provide! But why do we need to confess our needs to God when He already knows what they are? Consistently praying for our needs builds our trust in God and develops our relationship with Him. We can ask Him to provide daily, and we can grow closer to Him every step along the way.
