[Manna - February 28]
Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Philippians 4:6
THE question may arise, Why will not God give us
the things which He sees us to need without our making
petition to Him and claiming His promises?
Undoubtedly
because we need previously to come into
the proper attitude of heart to receive His favors and
to be advantaged by them.
Even as it is, we may be
sure that we do not sufficiently appreciate the divine
care bestowed upon us hitherto and now.
Even in
the attitude of prayer and thanksgiving we probably
do not discern one-half of our causes for gratitude, as
we shall see them by and by, when we shall know
even as we are known. Z.'03-8 R3128:6
