Boy…does that picture ever depict life correctly… It’s a tangled mess with one event tying into an emotion which twists up with a situation that leads to a circumstance…

In days where I am feeling that tangled ball more than others, I find my sense of neediness goes up. We all have things we want but, especially in times of trial, we tend to focus more on what we need..

And, often, what we need we do not have enough of.

“And my God will LIBERALLY supply (which means to fill until full) all your NEEDS according to His riches in glory in Jesus” ~Philippians 4:19

Can you believe that? It seems too good to be true, doesn’t it?

What is it you NEED? I think, first, we need to be honest with ourselves about what those things really are:

*I need to be comforted.

*I need to have patience that doesn’t make sense.

*I need to feel a sense of worth.

*I need strength in my weakness.

*I need to not feel alone.

And so much more….

When tragedy strikes, when pain won’t end, when hope seems lost my only answer is to go WHERE I have experienced peace…go WHERE the comfort has been found…go WHERE the answers are held- whether I am told them or not…

I go sit in the presence of the Lord.

In John 14:1 Jesus says “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God and trust in Him (have faith, hold onto it, rely on it, keep going). Believe also in Me.”

We need to believe we will receive what we ask for when in need…What we receive may look different than what we thought we would get, but that does not mean it is lesser…

Trusting that the Lord knows best and that He will meet your needs in a manner best suited for you and the situation requires keeping your eyes of faith open.

Trust and believe and you will receive for your Father loves you.
