       The key for us is to be happy with what God has in fact given us, to be thankful for it, and if there is anything else we want him to give us, we need to ask him for it and keep a patient attitude. It is true that for most of us God has already given us a great deal of things, most of which we cannot even count. He has given us salvation, the guarantee of Heaven when we die, his Holy Spirit to help us in life, his very presence with us at all times, and on and on the list goes. He has given many of us, if you stop and think about it, an overflow in relationships, both family and friends. And as far as material possessions, he has given us a great amount of things. Most of us have much more than we could ever really need on this earth. Many of us have a variety of possessions, at least some money, and usually whatever we want to eat. And if there are things we want God to give us, if we need more things, or more money, or would like to eat better—whatever it is—God tells us to ask him for it and to believe he will give it to us.
