Normally when we want something we prayed and asked God to gave it to us, Right? In my case there are things (material things) that I like to have that I don't prayed or asked God for. Why? First, I reason to my self that there are a lot of more important things that I need to prayed for than praying for those material things. Second, perhaps I'm too shy to asked God for it. But you know what? He gives even if I didn't asked for it. I remember when I was young, when I was, I think grade 2 that a toy called tamagochi become popular and when I was in grade 4 or 5 that a babyG watch also become popular, like many kids of my age, I too would also like to have one. Though I like to have it I didn't asked my Abba Father to gave it to me as a birthday nor a Christmas gift. I didn't even told God about it. But you know what? He gave it to me as a Christmas present. Then I also remember wishing to have a doll house, whenever my mama and I passed by a store, I would look at that doll house with a longing to have it. I even told my self that when I grow up I would one day buy that doll house but God didn't wait for me to grew up to gave me that doll house. He also gave it to me on a Christmas season. Since I enter grade school till I graduated from college my prayers were all about having good grades, the health and safety of my family and friends, and the solution to any problems I had or my family or friends had. But as far as I could remember I didn't asked God for any material things like toys or what. Well there is an instance that I include material things in my prayer but I just can't remember if I actually asked God for it or am I just telling God that I like this certain thing. I may stressed that there's a difference between asking God for something and just telling Him that you like it. Then last night I told God that I like to have this certain gadget. I don't have any means to buy this gadget because we're not well off. Well I didn't asked or pleaded God to gave it to me, I just told Him about it because God likes it when we tell Him what we needs or what we want. Even though He don't gave us all the things we want, We can be sure of one thing, that He gave us all the things we needed to go on in our life.
