The eyes of all look hopefully to you,
and you give them their food in due season;
you open your hand
and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs. -Psalm 145
God said, “Ask something of me and I will give it to you.”
Borthers and Sisters,
Everyone who is guided by the Holy Spirit is a child of God. We have been adopted by God, and when we pray, "Abba, Father, " it is the Holy Spirit and our own spirit telling us that we truly are God's children. And if we are God's children, we will have eternal life like Jesus who is God's son. Romans 8:14-17
"Brothers and sisters: May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give you a Spirit of wisdom and revelation resulting in knowledge of him. May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call, what are the riches of glory in his inheritance among holy ones, and what is the surpassing greatness of his power for us who believe in accord with the exercise of his great might, which he worked in Christ, raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavens, far above every principality, authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he put all things beneath his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills all things in every way." Ephesians 1:17-23
"But if Christ is in you,although the body is dead because of sin,
the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you,
the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also,
through his Spirit dwelling in you." Heb 8:8-11 NAB
"Brothers and sisters, there was a time when you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord."
Jesus answered and said to her,
“Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again;
but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst;
the water I shall give will become in him
a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
