Read Philippians 1-4
Philippians 4:6 says, "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." There’s a debate about praying for something. Do you keep asking until you receive it or does that show a lack of faith? Do you ask only once and then move on or does that show arrogance?
Does God want us to keep asking like the woman with the unjust judge who finally gave in to get some relief from her? Is God already sending the answer but being hampered like the angel who was on his way to Daniel, but got waylaid by the devil?
God knows what we need before we even ask. We don’t have to take the responsibility for asking, like a clerk might be responsible for ordering when supplies are low, so the company doesn’t run out of something. But God wants to hear from us. He wants us to know He is the supplier of our needs. So we can ask and give thanks and know God hears and answers us.
