You have not, because you've asked not...

**I have no idea why parts of this are highlighted and can't figure out how to fix it.**

You have not, because you've asked not...This verse from James 4:2 has been going through my head so much in the last several days.  I can't help but think that it is God putting it there.  It is just as clear as when I heard "Be still and know that I am God" from Psalm 46:10 during my darkest days of grieving.

The bible says in Philippians 4:19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

In Matthew 6:34 it says Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.

So does this mean that we are to just simply trust that He will supply?  Are we just sitting by expecting Him to do it.  Remember when you were younger and you had that one gift you were hoping to get for your birthday or Christmas?  Did you just expect your parents to know what you wanted?  Did you mention it once 6 months ago and expect that they would remember?  I'm guessing not.  You probably reminded them on a regular basis, right?  Well, God doesn't forget, but He does want us to talk to Him.  He wants us to ask Him for things that we need and even for the things we desire in our heart.  It's not pestering Him if we ask him repeatedly.  Yes, He knows our needs even better than we do.  But that is not the point.  He is a good good Father and He gives great gifts!

The bible also says...

1 Peter 5:7  Casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you.

Jeremiah 29:12-13  12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. 13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.

1 John 5:14   This is the confidence we have in approaching God:  That if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

I think these verses are just a sample of proofs that He wants us to bring our needs to Him.

We are currently in a situation where there are mountains that we are needing God to move.  It seems we've been here a long time.  He has been faithful along the way and provided in both little and big ways.  We are so thankful for that and for the people he has used to provide for those needs.  However, until today, we have not made it a regular matter of prayer.  We will be praying in faith about this on a daily basis from now on.  The intent of this post is simply to share what I believe God has placed on my heart.  We'd love it if you would join us in praying for these unspoken requests.  I'm looking forward to seeing God move in the situations that I am praying for.  I invite you to get serious about praying for the needs in your life.  I think you'll be amazed when you see Him move in your life. 

 If there is a mountain in your life that you would like me to pray for, please feel free to email me at fullquiver77@gmail.com or if we are friends on Facebook, you can send me a private message there as well.
