Confused! Are God’s blessings random?
I think about God a lot, I love Him and He means everything to me. He is my father but I have so many questions I don’t have answers for and very disturbing.
My first wish in life is to know Him. That has been my prayer since I was in my teens. That I may know Him. Phi 3:10. I want a personal experience with Him, talking about Him using my knowledge of Him more than what someone else says or what I read.
He is my Father, He is Almighty, He created the whole world, etc. But as His child, am I supposed to suffer to get even basic things of life? Someone said we don’t get it because we don’t ask according to His will, is my basic needs not part of His will?
Matt 7:11 “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!” But you ask and wait and wait, still nothing.
You ask for the same thing for years, trusting Him wholeheartedly and still nothing. I don’t understand how my father could be wealthy and own all things and I will need to keep asking him for things that are basic for years and still nothing.

I’m a mother, I know what my kids need and will most likely want. Do I need to wait for them to come asking me every day for weeks or years before I give them?
For those that would say all things are mine claim them; law of attraction, gratitude, imaginations, etc, please my question is imagine you are the child of one of the richest people in the world, do you need to do all those things for your parent(s) to meet your needs?
Do I need the law of attraction, imagination for me as Elon Musk’s child to live?
Well, we will hear money is not all there is to wealth and there are things money can’t buy.
Sure, we are limited as humans and can’t be compared to the Almighty but those who call on God still go through those other challenges too. When do you feel you have done all you need to do presently and waiting on Him to do what He promises and it seems like forever? hmmm
My belief is as God’s children, there should be a distinction between us and those that don’t seek Him. Right?
Or is the response from God like the man at the poolside? One person per move of God? If so, when will it be my turn or your turn? Most times it seems luck, location, hard work and chance are the reason some of us fare better than others as if God is random.
I believe God is good and great and what I know about or hear about Him is insufficient. That is why I want to know Him by myself, for myself. I sincerely want to know Him more.
I don’t want to praise, fast, or dance to Him because of what I want to get from Him but because I love Him and just want to.
I can’t imagine my children have to fast and worship me to get their needs met. They can do that to appreciate and thank me but not for their basic needs.
Well, are you saying He doesn’t promise us all will be fine? No challenges? Yes, I know all these.
This is just my opinion. I believe there is God, He is my Father and He loves me.
And my prayer remains that I may know Him more… I just get confused at times but what do I even know?
