There was a time in my life, during senior high school and even through university, when calling home to ask for money or provisions felt like pulling teeth. Not because I had everything freely at my disposal. Many times, I didn’t. However, I understood something: my father was carrying a heavy load. He was taking care of the family and likely facing challenges beyond my visibility.
Can I then add to the heavy burden he already bears? I stayed quiet, I managed. I stretched what I had, even when it wasn’t enough. Occasionally, my dad would call and say, “You haven’t called in a while. Don’t you need anything?” I’d laugh it off, telling him I was buried in schoolwork. The truth was, I didn’t want to feel like a burden. I knew he loved me deeply, but I wasn’t sure how much more he could give. Why risk adding weight to shoulders already carrying so much? Now that the dust has settled, I realize how that mindset translated into my relationship with God.
So often, we see the vastness of the world’s problems and wonder if He has time for our little issues. We hesitate to pray about rent, tuition, healing, or direction because we fear that we are imposing on a busy God, managing bigger crises, and we shrink back.
However, the truth is that God is not limited like we are. He doesn’t get overwhelmed. His resources are insatiable. His attention is never divided. He is not just a Provider; He is the Provision.
Jesus said, “If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, How much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!” Matthew 7:11 (NIV), This isn’t just a verse; it’s an invitation to ask, to receive, to believe that God delights in caring for His children. God doesn’t get tired of your voice. He doesn’t roll His eyes at your requests.
Additionally, Matthew 6:32–33 reminds us that “your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” It’s not just about asking, it’s about trusting that He cares. Just like my earthly father would have done anything to help me if he knew I was in need, our Heavenly Father is always ready to move on behalf of those who come to Him in faith.
“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” Hebrews 4:16 encourages. So, here’s my message to you: Don’t hold back. Don’t minimize your need. Don’t tiptoe around God. Your Father sees you. He cares deeply. And He’s never too busy for you. Philippians 4:19 declares, “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”
Apostle Paul declared.
