INTRODUCTION

In a crisis, priorities quickly change, and what seemed so important in life only a few months ago are no longer necessary.

God views what we need differently from the way we do. God sees us as his children whose full potential needs to be realized so that we can be fully mature co-heirs with Christ. He sees our needs to be what is required to accomplish his plan and fulfill his purpose. His provision is abundant and more than sufficient.

Asking God for your provision, you can begin with your minimal requirement (your immediate needs) for life. But God will always push you to go much further. His objective is to help you mature in faith so that you develop a habit of living the daily life of faith.

Focus on asking for what you need from God, your Faithful Sustainer

Heavenly Father, You are the Faithful Sustainer of Creation.
