       So, we can ask God for anything that we need, or really even anything that we think we want in our lives. Now, that doesn’t mean God will give us whatever we ask, but it’s not wrong to ask for something from God, as long as we know our motive is correct in our asking. We shouldn’t ask for things from God with a wrong motive in our hearts. Notice how Jesus used the terminology “Give us.” He uses the word ‘give’ here. Indeed, it is true that everything we have in our lives, everything that is good, and everything that we are going to get that is good, is in fact a gift from God. And we also know from Romans chapter 8 that God works all things in our lives together for the good, for those of us who love him and those of us who have been called according to his purpose. So, even bad things that come to us in our lives are worked out for our own, personal good from God himself. Nevertheless, we certainly have obtained a lot of good things in our lives. We have Christ—if we are Christian, the forgiveness of our sins through his shed blood, and a restored relationship with God.
