A newborn baby.

If you’ve ever had a baby, or been around a newborn baby, you’ll see this fragile little human, who couldn’t live a day without someone caring for his/her every need. Babies are designed this way by God.

God has also designed each of us to need Him moment by moment. The more we are aware of our neediness, so does the realization of His abundant sufficiency become clear.

Philippians 4:6 - “do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”

When we go to God in prayer with our requests, along with our thanksgiving, He gives us peace; sufficient peace for the present. If He gave us all that we would ever need at one time, then why would we have the need to call on Him again and again?

God can meet our needs without draining Himself of resources. Ask God in confidence today what you need; but couple that with faith in Him that He always cares for us, knows what we need before we do, and continues to guide and direct us throughout our life here on earth.

Peace is God’s continual gift to all who believe in Him. Don’t you want that peace today; the peace you see in a newborn baby, sleeping in his momma’s arms?
