"Therefore take no thought, saying, 'What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?' ...for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things."
~Matthew 6:31-32
When I look at a healthy, Godly family, the best cared for in the household are the children. We know that kids have no worries, yet they are taken care of because their parents love and cherish them.
"Let the ways of childish confidence and freedom from care, which so please you and win your heart in your own little ones, teach you what should be your ways with God; and, leaving yourself in His hands, learn to be literally 'careful for nothing'; and you shall find it to be a fact that the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep (as with a garrison) your heart and mind through Christ Jesus." ~Hannah Whitall Smith
Oh, what it would look like if a person fully lived a life of faith in childlike wonder of the Father... I believe this is key to living a life "free of want," as David writes in the beginning of Psalm 23. What does it look like to live a life free of want? It looks like us relying on the Lord to meet our every need and desire--all of it being fulfilled by Jesus.
That is a beautiful relationship.
