Day 3 - My Needs Are Met

Scripture:
“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in
Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19

Reflection:
How often do you worry about your needs? It is clear that we have needs. Needs
for food, clothing, shelter and needs for emotional, social, financial, professional
and worldly things. But when we worry about those needs, we allow the mind to
wander without focus. An unfocused mind is unsettled and allows stray thoughts
to take up residence.

One doubtful thought arrives at your mental gates. With no focus, doubt is
accepted. Without fail, it sends for its friends fear and anxiety to enter your mind
as well. Before you know it, your mind is crowded with fears of the “what could
be.” That focused attention brings in the exact thing you fear.

Take control of your mind by remembering God’s promise. Allow your focused
mind to announce to heaven and Earth you trust God to supply all your needs.

Affirm: I trust God! I decree that my needs are released from the heavens and
the whole of the Earth.

Prayer:
Dear God, thank you for reminding us that you will supply all of our needs. We
honor you for leaving no need unsupplied. We honor you God because you are
God and we respect that it is You who have riches in Your glory. Right now, we
invite you fully into our mind, our hearts and our lives as our full supply. All our
needs are met in your glory, Selah. AMEN.
