You Need Me

 

by Sarah Young, from Jesus Calling

You need me every moment.  Your awareness of your constant need for Me is your greatest strength. Your neediness, properly handled, is a link to My Presence. However, there are pitfalls that you must be on guard against: self-pity, self-preoccupation, giving up. Your inadequacy presents you with a continual choice — deep dependence on Me, or despair.

The emptiness you feel within will be filled either with problems or with My Presence.

Make Me central in your consciousness by praying continually: simple, short prayers flowing out of the present moment. Use My Name liberally, to remind you of My Presence.

Keep on asking and you will receive, so that your gladness may be full and complete.

Scriptures

1 Thessalonians 5:17: Pray without ceasing

John 16:24: Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that you joy may be full.

Do you have a tendency to choose self-pity as I sometimes do? What about self-preoccupation? Do you give up?
