Luke 12:29-31
And do not seek what you shall eat, and what you shall drink, and do not keep worrying. For all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek; but your Father knows that you need these things. But seek for His kingdom, and these things shall be added to you.

A number of years ago I had been invited by the pastor, Robert Dunlap, to preach in a church in Central Florida where I knew the congregation well, having been there a number of times in the past. As we were starting the service the pastor's wife addressed the assembled brothers and sisters and invited them to bring their prayer requests so we could start with prayer for their needs. And she said that everybody has needs. I stood up and asked that we would hold off on doing that until after I shared the word, the message that the Lord had given me at that very moment.
 
You see, it just struck me right at that moment that since faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word {Rom.10:17} we would be better equipped to pray for our needs after the Lord spoke to us. He met my need right then and there by giving me the message to share.

My belief is that all too often we don't actually know what we need—we are generally much better at knowing what we want. And truth be told, a lot (if not the majority) of our prayers are about seeking the things we want or instructing the Lord how to 'fix stuff' going on in our lives. So, the Lord gave me a message for all of us.
