How do you understand Matthew 6:33 when it comes to needs?

[jennifer_bloom]

I find God gave me a lot of the things I asked for but it was a hard battle and not easily gained.

[Debbie14217]

No one said life was easy...
If seek God and His righteousness everyday to the honest and truthfull way... God will provide you with what you need... He didn't say it would be easy...
Look at stories in the Bible and what people went through to get what God had promised them... David for example
There are many...
Also pray about it ask for wisdom in understanding these things you ask

God tortured and killed David son as a punishment for David disobeying.

[jennifer_bloom]

@Subarugirl then his son died and went to heaven

[Subarugirl]

How do you know he went to heaven?

[jennifer_bloom]

@Subarugirl because he was innocent and unable to sin by speaking when he died.

[Subarugirl]

The bible says that all are born into sin... you were born guilty

[annabananna]

When you pray ask God what he wants from you and for help to give you guidance to follow his path and will. He will always take care of us in the end. Maybe not in ways we desire but we will always be ok under his guidance.

[iamjustaman]

When we pray we must understand that God knows us intimately, and answers our proper prayer according to what is best for us. We often want things we think we need or want, but our heavenly father knows what we need before we even ask, and he can see the outcome of all matters.

If you had to work for it it wasn’t really given, it was earned.

[jennifer_bloom]

I had over 12 health problems the year I applied to university and got into a hood school but getting the grade during my health crises was tough, so God gave me what I wanted but I had to fight for it.

[jennifer_bloom]

Good* school. Not hood school.

[Subarugirl]

So you earned it… it wasn’t just given

[jennifer_bloom]

Yes that’s why, I want to know if God expects me to work for things, like going back to school and working on my book every day.

[Subarugirl]

Exactly, you had to work for it, it wasn’t just given to tou

[collie22]

Jesus told his followers not to worry about material things such as food or clothing, as God will provide

[pureforresttruth]

We must work for what we desire.
