Some things that I need and pray for daily: daily bread:

His grace gives us something to give out.  We receive and then we can give out.  We are not paupers; we are a child of the King and receive of His table.  We open the door to Him and He comes in and sups with us.  His is a bounteous supply! 

This bounteous supply is ours in the tough times as well as the joyful times.  Life, being the way that it is, sometimes has more tough times than good.  His supply allows us to continue to be filled, saturated, in the difficult times.

Psa 65:4  Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.

Satisfied - A primitive root; to sate, that is, fill to satisfaction (literally or figuratively): - have enough, fill (full, self, with), be (to the) full (of), have plenty of, be satiate, satisfy (with), suffice, be weary of.

Goodness - From H2895; good (as a noun), in the widest sense, especially goodness (superlatively concrete, the best), beauty, gladness, welfare: - fair, gladness, good (-ness, thing, -s), joy, go well with.

Rom 5:2  By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

We have access by faith into grace wherein we stand and rejoice.  What a lovely place to stand!  “There is joy unspeakable and full of glory… Oh the half has never yet been told.” 

He has promised, “Cast thy burden upon the Lord and He will sustain thee.”  Here the word, burden, means your lot in life; whatever God has given you.  Cast it on Him and He will uphold you, nourish you, support you, and sustain you. 

Every need supplied!

Rom 5:17  For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

Abundance of grace!  Gift of righteousness!  We can reign in life by Jesus Christ.  He supplies our every need.  He is the bread of life. 

Eph 4:7  But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

He gives faith: the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen,

Rom 12:3  For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

He gives wisdom: if any lack wisdom, let Him ask…

Jas 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Jas 1:6  But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

Jas 3:17  But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

In His presence is fullness of joy: river of pleasure.

Psa 16:11  Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Psa 36:8  They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

Psa 36:9  For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

He is an ever present friend. 

Pro 18:24  A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

Joh 15:12  This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

Joh 15:13  Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Joh 15:14  Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
