“My God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:19
A Word From Billy Graham
As God’s children, we are His dependents. The Bible says, ‘As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him’ (Psalm 103:13, NIV). Dependent children spend little time worrying about meals, clothing and shelter. They assume, and they have a right to, that all will be provided by their parents.
Because God is responsible for our welfare, we are told to cast all our anxiety on Him because He cares for us (Cf. 1 Peter 5:7). Because we are dependent upon God, Jesus said, ‘Do not let your hearts be troubled’ (John 14:1, NIV). God says, ‘I’ll take care of the burden--don't give it a thought. Leave it to me.’ Dependent children are not backward about asking for favors. They would not be normal if they did not boldly make their needs known.
God is keenly aware that we are dependent upon Him for life’s necessities. It was for that reason that He said, ‘Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you’ Matthew 7:7.
