There is no want in His Presence

I once heard that when we are in the Lord’s Presence, there is no want – we have no needs. 

It’s all there – in Him.

 

And then – a few weeks later – I actually experienced this truth. 

 

I was leading worship for a new Small Group.  After we sang praises to God, there was a powerful silence.  God was among us in a very tangible way.

 

We simply sat there, unable to speak for what seemed a very long time.  We sat in silence totally comfortable, without any awkwardness.  There was no need for speech.

 

It felt so right.  We simply were.  We ministered to God and let Him minister to us. 

 

It was beautiful. 

 

Then, someone in the group passed around the prayer requests sheet.

 

AND THIS IS WHEN I KNEW DEEP IN MY SOUL THAT THERE IS NO WANT IN GOD’S PRESENCE.

 

I could not think of a single prayer request to write. 

 

Mind you, I had MANY very crucial needs during this time in my life. 

 

But in that moment, there was no prayer request to write because I HAD NO WANT. I felt no needs.

 

In His Presence, I lacked nothing. 

 

Oh, that I could live there always.

Lord Jesus, help us live in Your Presence continually where we want for nothing more or nothing else.  In Jesus' Name.  Amen.
