God is Jehovah-jireh, meaning the Lord will provide (Genesis 22:14). God will provide for all who believe in his name. That means we can trust in who God is. It's not just who we want him to be. God's name is revealed to all believers. We can trust in his name, as the Lord will provide for our needs.
The Lord will provide as our heavenly Father. He knows your needs before you ask. Prayer is not designed for us to inform God. He knows all things. Our prayers receive from God our Father. Jesus said to pray,"Our Father in heaven"(Matthew 6:9). He taught us to make requests based upon our needs."Give us this day our daily bread"(Matthew 6:11). The Lord will provide as our Father in heaven.
The Lord will provide according to our needs. All of us have needs. Fear says, No one is going to provide for your needs. You are a needy person with no one who can help. Faith says, "My God shall supply all of my need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus"(Philippians 4:19).
Our greatest need is not physical nor financial. Our greatest need is spiritual. We need God. We need faith that God will provide. God's covenant name among others is Jehovah-jireh. It is assurance that the Lord will provide. His name reveals His character. It's who He is and what He does.
