So many people (just know when I say people, I'm talking about Christians), get so caught up in asking God what he wants for their life, and what they need to do, and what is he saying to him, that they completely miss what God wants for us.
Sometimes I wonder what God does when people are just crying and are like "God, oh please God what do I do?? Please oh please oh please! What do I do God??" And God is just like, "I've already told you. I HAVE ALREADY TOLD YOU!"
If we really want to know what God has for us, we need to first have a relationship with him. Let me illustrate this:
Let's say I'm coming home, and I'm picking up some McDonald's for my (let's say I'm married) wife. I don't need to call her up and say, "Dear Laura, Thank you for this day. Thank you for family and friends. And Laura? I need you're help...because I'm at McDonald's and I don't know what you want if you want a Mcdouble or a McChicken or a Value meal or an iced tea or a Milkshake or what you want Laura! I'm so lost...Please direct me in what you want to me bring home for you from McDonald's. In your name, Goodbye."
Isn't that how some of our prayers look like? If I am in a intimate relationship with my wife, I DON'T NEED TO ASK HER WHAT SHE WANTS BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW! I KNOW MY WIFE!
We should know God that way. Now, no one can fully grasp or understand God, but we need to be intimately reading his word, and praying, and consistently doing these things.
But don't get me wrong. God does say cast your cares upon him. If you were to go to your wife with 12 roses and say to her, "Baby, I love you. I don't wanna be with anyone else right now. I don't wanna watch any Miami Heat. It's just you and me tonight." Do you think your wife is going to take the flowers and throw them back in your face and spit on you? Realistically? No she isn't. She is going to except you.
The same goes for God.
If you are delighting in him, RIGHTEOUSLY, delighting in him, do you think he will deny you? No he won't.
