This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him. 1 John 5:14-15 NIV
God doesn’t give us everything we ask for. He isn’t a Genie in a magic lamp that gives us our three wishes. God does provide whatever we ask for as long as we ask for things that are in line with His perfect plan. Just as a parent doesn’t give a child candy for every meal, our God loves us so much that He doesn’t give us something merely because we think we need or want it.
Lord, thank you for protecting me from myself and giving me only what I really need.
