give me

Before God we are all babies. Don't we all cry out "Give me!" like a child does, believing that everything should be and is ours by right and on demand?

"Give me what I want, the way I want it, right now!" It's a testament to God's goodness that we aren't blown into a zillion pieces because of our innate selfishness. Word.

All I can think in this moment is how badly I want what I want and not necessarily for all the right reasons. Nay, depending on the hour, the reasons for my wanting are less than pure to say the least.

God, give me not what I want but what you know I need. Help me to trust that You in all things desire good for me.
