He Already Knows
"Your Father knows what you need before you ask him." - Matthew 6:8
There is something incredibly comforting about knowing that God is not surprised by anything in your life. He sees what you are carrying even when no one else does. He knows the burdens you don’t talk about, the stress you hide, and the desires you haven’t dared to speak aloud. Before you even find the words, He already knows what you need.
That’s not just a nice thought. That’s the heart of your Heavenly Father. He is not distant. He is not disengaged. He is intentional. Every part of your life matters to Him. The small things, the big decisions, the silent prayers, the restless nights, He’s aware of all of it.
Jesus didn’t say your Father might figure out what you need if you ask the right way. He said your Father already knows. And that changes how you pray. You do not have to perform or try to convince God to care. You do not have to explain your way into His attention. You already have it.
This should change how you walk through life. When you realize that the God of the universe is paying close attention to your every need, you stop carrying the weight alone. You stop living with clenched fists and anxious thoughts. You begin to release, trust, and lean into His care.
Maybe you feel like you’re lacking something right now. Maybe your needs feel overwhelming or unmet. But this truth still stands. He sees it all, and He is faithful. You can trust that what you truly need, He will provide. It may not come how you imagined or when you expected, but it will come in His way and His time.
You can stop striving to hold everything together. Your Father knows. And because He knows, you can rest. Because He is good, you can trust Him. Because He is close, you are never alone. Let that truth carry you today.
