We have a habit of thinking we know what we need in life. However we don’t know what lies ahead for us, only God knows that. Therefore when we pray, we must forget what we think we need and simply ask God to provide what he knows we need.
If we pray without focusing on what we think we need, our prayers will become focused on others. We’ll become more receptive to God, and what He wants to say to us.
