God provides us with everything that we need to get through each and every day. You have only to look at the creatures of nature to see proof of this. Yet we find it so easy to doubt that he will provide for us in our moments of need. Is it that we mix up our wants with our needs and get confused? There is after all a difference between needing a car and wanting a new one. God intends for us to be happy and that is why he sees to it that our needs are met. Do we intend for ourselves to be happy?
In abusive relationships we often find ourselves wanting and needing things. Something to hold onto that provides a sense of security and comfort. This can continue to find its way into our lives after we leave the abusive relationship. We collect things and hold onto them knowing that no matter how much we collect it is never enough. The thing that we do not hold onto is our relationship with God and the comfort in knowing that he is there. Perhaps that is because of the anger we hold towards him for allowing us to be in the position we were in. Perhaps it is because we feel that he had abandoned us in our time of need.
He was there for us and he did provide for our needs and yes even at times our wants. He made sure there were safe points for us and he did watch over us and protect us. We had only needed to ask and believe and trust that he would bring us out of harms way and into safety. That is something that is very very hard to do when you live in fear each and every day. When we choose to accept the help he sends for us than and only than do we begin to allow him to help us and he can do miracles for us when we let him.
