Welcome to this weekend's Entouch Podcast with Charles Stanley.

We often blame others for our problems, but we can be our own worst enemy.

Discover today if you just might be the obstacle keeping you from receiving God's solutions.

How often have you carried your knees to the Lord in prayer and asked Him to meet some specific need in your life and yet He didn't meet it?

How did you respond when that need remained unmet?

You see, the truth is God delights in meeting our need. He desires to meet all of our needs.

Well, if He does, then why doesn't He? Why is it that God seemingly does not meet all of our needs?

So that's what I want to talk about in this message and that is why our needs remain unmet.

So rather than just turning to a pastor of Scripture, we'll just use Philippians 4.19 and turn to some other passages.

And I want to begin by simply saying this that God's certain desires to meet all of our needs.

And you may be familiar with this verse, but in case you're not, turn if you will to Matthew chapter 6 for a moment.

You recall this is the sermon on the Mount.

And right before we have the pattern prayer, you recall this is what Jesus said.

He had been talking about people just using repetitious words in their prayers and saying the same thing over and over again in verse 70 says,

and when you're praying, do not use meaningless repetitions as the Gentiles do,

but they suppose that they'll be heard for them any words.

Therefore, do not be like them for your father knows what you need before you ask him.

God wants us to know that he is interested, committed to, and able to meet every single need that we have.

And so Jesus certainly came as the need, meet it to meet people's needs and what you find the gospels everywhere you go,

he's meeting somebody's needs now.

With all these promises, the very life of Jesus Christ himself, somebody says,

well, but I have needs and my needs are not being met.
