God is Jehovah-jireh, meaning the Lord will provide (Genesis 22:14). God provides 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 in the Bible. We can trust in his name, as the Lord provides for us.
God will provide as our heavenly Father. He knows our needs before we ask. Prayer is not designed for us to inform God. He knows all things. Prayer receives from God our Father. Jesus said to pray,"Our Father in heaven"(Matthew 6:9). He taught us to make our requests based upon our needs."Give us this day our daily bread"(Matthew 6:11). God provides as our Father in heaven.
God 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 means God will provide. His name reveals God's character. It's who He is and what He does. The Lord will provide.
