Does God Need Me to Pray for What I Need?

When we are struggling spiritually or experiencing some physical
suffering we can find ourselves asking the question; "Is God
listening to my prayer?" Since he already knows what we need before
we even ask him, should we just trust in his providence? Is it an
either or? Today, Fr Mike encourages us with examples from
scripture to highlight that we ought to both pray for what we need
as well as trust that God hears our prayers and will respond
according to his good will and pleasure.
