Do you believe God always gives you what you need if you are religious and follow it okay?

I know a guy who is blind, met him in university, he has an amazing memory, better then the smartest professors you can find and my parents says his memory is that good because he needs a very good memory to survive since he's blind.

When I first began university I had mental issues from bullies and abusers at home and I could not think logically or clearly, but I got into university and got the classes I needed to fulfill my subject breadth requirements for graduation because I could memorize 300 pages a day. When my mind was clear and I was no longer mentally ill, I lost that memory and even memorizing 10 pages word for word a week was hard, because I no longer needed a genius level memory to survive since I now had logic and common sense.

When I had low confidence, I was very pretty, because I needed to be pretty to attract friends but once my confidence normalized, my looks normalized and I was no longer very good looking. I believe I will make millions each year and that is how much money I need to continue living in my area of the world. When I lived in a poorer city, I was expecting to make twice or thrice a minimum wage salary and that was all I needed in my old city to live and buy a home in that city.

"if you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all" quote futurama... but kinda true, god is energy and spirituality... its this energy that builds and carries through to existence within eternity. The power of god is inside us all and gives strength but energy although transformational is just that strength of perseverance and positive energy when our body dies this strength with our own spirit grow into a different plan of existence but here on earth its not the same tangible meaning, god is not a wishing lamp but a force to help you in everyday life you yourself gain strength and forfil your dreams but that strength is hope, determination and partly luck if your listening and talking to god your spirit soul and metaphysical existence will be stronger to achieve what you want. Its psychological but you can prove little but feel a lot, we use 10% of our minds if that's positive then life gets better and good things lead way to more good things... kinda a ramble x

The Word tells us that if we consult the Lord in all of our ways, He will make straighten out our crooked paths (Proverbs 3:6). The Word also tells us that He will work all things for the good of those who love Him and those who are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). If we trust in God, then He will give us all that we need. I have no doubt that in certain times of your life the Lord was enabling you with the gifts and abilities needed to overcome whatever obstacles/challenge stood in front of you. I also do believe that somethings are only needed for certain seasons. Just my thoughts. Take care and God bless :)

I believe God has a plan. And his divine plan is too vast for our puny human brains to fathom. Until I became a Christian (even then it still took me 20 years. To understand better) I never understood the depth of God's love.

I don't believe God gives you what you need. God gives you the tools to get what you need. Your success are the testament of his glory. The rougher the road, the greater they glory. He knows you better than you know yourself. He'll NEVER give you more than he knows you can handle. So whatever you're dealing with please don't quit.

Yes God gives what you need, not always what you want and that's why many people don't understand God, and lots don't want to understand him because he isn't a people's pleaser like they want him to be, but yea want and need are different.

Part of the problem is looking at worshipping God as a transaction - I worship God, He gives me what I want, like a butler. Let’s say you’re rich and you start worshipping God and you lose your wealth, are you going to keep worshipping God? Even if you don’t get wealthy again? Isn’t it more of a true worship if you don’t expect anything in return but you just worship God for who He is and for who you are?

God is not obliged to give you anything in THIS world.
