Proverbs 30

Wile reading Proverbs 30 one day i came across a part of scripture that i think 97% of all people would struggle with.

    "Two things I ask of you, O LORD; do not refuse me before I die: 8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread.9 Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, 'Who is the LORD?' Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God."  Proverbs 30:7-9

A man named Agur wrote this passage and he realized something most of us wont admit to. He ask God not to be deprived before he dies, for the Lord to remove falsehood and lies from him. Also to not let him be poor or be rich but to give him just what he needs to survive.
Most of us would ask God to remove falsehoods and lies, but how many would pray to God the bold prayer not to be poor or.......rich but only give me what i need. It's like saying God just pay my bills i don't need a savings account or money for retirement. Just keep a roof over my head and food on my plate.

One think i have noticed about myself, the times in my life when i did not have hardly any money when i did not know how we were going to pay the bills i looked so much more for God to step in and do something miraculous. But when my saving account has a little money in it i don't feel the urge to rely on God like i know i use to.

I want to pray like Agur did....
    "I am the most ignorant of men; I do not have a man's understanding. 3 I have not learned wisdom, nor have I knowledge of the Holy One.4 Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Who has gathered up the wind in the hollow of his hands? Who has wrapped up the waters in his cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and the name of his son? Tell me if you know! 5 "Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him." Proverbs 30:2-5

Father i know i am nothing in you sight but let me follow you will, i can not understand your ways you are so much higher than me, but allow me to take shelter under you and provide for me so i may not beg for bread but also rely on you for my needs.
