If you have a need, God will supply it. If He has called you to do something, He will supply what you need to fulfill what He has called you to. He is the supplier of all of our needs. What He is not is a supplier of all of our wants. We may think we need something, but it is really a want. This is where a lot of us get confused. We can't distinguish between a need and a want. A need is something we can't do without, like air to breathe, food, water, etc. A need may be something that is necessary for us to fulfill the call God has placed on us. A want is something that we desire, but can live without. For example, you may think you need a 70 inch TV, or you may think you need the Ford F150 Raptor, or you may think you need the $500 dress at Macy's, but these really are wants. And when we pray to God to get us the Raptor, or the $500 dress, and He doesn't give them to us, we get mad at Him, but what He is really doing is protecting us and teaching us the difference between wants and needs. I'm not saying that God won't ever give you what you want, but He will always give you what you need.
Take Away: Ask God to help you separate needs and wants.
