Is God actually aware of what I cannot afford right now?

There is a particular kind of worry that wakes you at night and sits with you over breakfast. The numbers do not add up. The month is long. And somewhere underneath the stress is a quieter fear: does God even see this? Not the big prayers, but this, the rent, the school fees, the empty fridge. He does. And He does not need you to remind Him.

"Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things."

- Matthew 6:31-32 (KJV)

Today, before you check your balance or run the numbers again, say out loud: "Father, you know what I need." Just that. Not a long prayer. Let those seven words be your first move this morning, and notice what shifts in you before the day gets going.

Father, you see what I cannot fix and what I cannot afford. I am handing the worry back to you today because you already know what I need. Hold me steady until I see your provision. Amen.
