What do you need?

Now, I know that question can sometimes come off as a rude and sarcastic alternative to “how can I help you?” But that’s not what I mean.

I sincerely want to ask you, “What do you need?”, or rather, God is asking!

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4:6-7 NLT

So let me ask again: Do you know what you need?

God invites you to list all your needs before Him–boldly, and without holding back:

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. – Hebrews 4:16 NIV

Take some time to think about the needs in your life, both big and small. Don’t forget to take into account your emotional and spiritual needs as well!

While you work on that list, remember this promise:

God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4:19 NKJV

I have noticed that when you spend time pondering on what you truly need in life, the outcome is often different from what you expect.

Personally, thinking about my needs often begins with a long list of material and practical needs (such as we need money for projects, the right people to help us, a suitable venue for an event, the planning to fall into place, etc).

But when I sit with God a little longer, dig deeper, it typically comes down to this: I need more of Jesus in my life.

What about you?

Hey! You are a Chamatkar.
