For real! For real!
I’ve been sitting with something I said to you guys:
“GOD, LITERALLY, ALL I WANT IS TO BE IN YOUR PRESENCE”
My mind went wait, hold up. If literally all I want is God’s presence… then what about food? What about air? How can I say that’s all I need?
Fast forward to yesterday. I hop on TikTok and my guy @iamjgoss drops this:
“You lack nothing, okay? As long as you got Him in your life, nothing is missing. Nothing is lacking. Everything is very intentional.”
Y’ALL HEAR THAT?
AS LONG AS WE HAVE GOD IN OUR LIFE AND WE ARE DWELLING IN HIS PRESENCE, LITERALLY, WE ARE LACKING NOTHING. NOTHING IS MISSING!!
Everything about God is intentional. He knows what we need before we even ask. Psalm 91:4 says He covers us. Psalm 16:11 says in His presence there’s fullness.
If we feel like we’re lacking, we’re not. We’re just not looking at the right Source.
I told you guys how God tells me “no” sometimes and He’s so polite about it:
“Nik, my grace is sufficient.”
God’s grace = support, help, favor, resources, strength, blessings, love, kindness, protection, wisdom, peace, joy.
IT’S ALL SUFFICIENT FOR US!!!
OUR GOD OWNS IT ALL!!!
As my brother Ceri puts it: We can lose everything. We can lose everyone. But we can never lose God. And once we have Him, we have ALL WE NEED!!!
Clock it!
Yesterday I had a real talk with my daughter Ember. I told her: Don’t play around with your relationship with God.
WAKE UP EVERY DAY TO YOUR GOD MORNING ROUTINE.
The devil’s looking for who he can kill, steal, and destroy. But if we start our day aligned with God, and walk with Him all day? We’re alert. We don’t fall into his traps.
They say you live and die by your decisions. So the best advice I got?
Get closer to God. Make Him your top priority.
NO GREATER WISDOM THAN GOD’S WISDOM.
GET TO KNOW GOD FOR YOURSELF!
As for me?
GOD, LITERALLY, ALL I WANT IS TO BE IN YOUR PRESENCE
BE GREAT EVERY DAY…WE ROLL WITH GOD
META BREAKDOWN: 3 KEY PILLARS FROM YOUR POST
- THE REVELATION: _“You lack nothing when you have God. Period.”
- The Tension: Your mind said “What about food, air? How can God’s presence be ‘all I want’?”
- The Truth @iamjgoss dropped: “You lack no things, okay? As long as you got Him in your life, nothing is missing. Everything is very intentional.”_
- The Scripture backing it:
▪ Psalm 16:11 – “In your presence there is fullness of joy”
▪ Psalm 91:4 – “Under his wings you will find refuge”
▪ 2 Corinthians 12:9 – “My grace is sufficient for you”
▪ Bottom line: Lack is a feeling. Fullness is a fact when God’s present.
- THE REMINDER: “We can lose everything and everyone but we can never lose God” – Ceri
- God’s grace = everything you need: Support, help, favor, resources, strength, blessings, love, kindness, protection, wisdom, peace, joy.
- God’s timing: He knows what you need before you ask. Nothing is accidental.
- Bottom line: When you have God, you have ALL WE NEED. Clock it!
- THE RESPONSE: _“WAKE UP EVERY DAY TO YOUR GOD MORNING ROUTINE”
- Why: “The devil is looking to see who he can kill, destroy and devour” – 1 Peter 5:8
- How: Start your day aligned with God. Walk with Him all day. You stay alert to his traps.
- The Decision: “You live and die by your decisions, so get closer to God and make Him your top priority.”_
- Bottom line: NO GREATER WISDOM THAN GOD’S WISDOM. GET TO KNOW GOD FOR YOURSELF!
HOW TO INCORPORATE THIS INTO YOUR DAILY LIFE: THE 3-STEP MOVEMENT PLAN
STEP 1: MORNING – THE GOD MORNING ROUTINE 5 Minutes
This is your “under His wings” moment. Psalm 91:4
- Before your phone: Breathe. Say out loud: “GOD, LITERALLY, ALL I WANT IS TO BE IN YOUR PRESENCE”
- One verse: Read Psalm 16:11 or Psalm 91:4. Let it sit.
- One declaration: “Today, I lack nothing because I have God. Period.”
Why it works: You start covered. You start full. The devil can’t steal what you already surrendered.
STEP 2: MIDDAY – THE LACK CHECK 30 Seconds
When anxiety, comparison, or “I don’t have enough” hits:
- Pause: Ask: “Do I have God right now?”
- If yes: Declare: “Then I lack nothing. Period.”
- If no: Stop. Breathe. “God, bring me back to Your presence.”
Why it works: You train your mind to stop measuring by what’s missing and start measuring by Who’s present.
STEP 3: NIGHT – THE GRACE REVIEW 2 Minutes
Before bed, like your husband playing the Bible:
- Ask: “Where did God’s grace show up today?” Support? Peace? Strength?
- Thank Him: “God, Your grace was sufficient today.”
- Release: “I go to sleep under Your wings.” Psalm 91:4
Why it works: You go to bed full, not anxious. You remember: He’s intentional about you.
▪ META PRAYER:
Father,
For real! For real! You’re all up in my head today.
I said it, and I mean it:
“GOD, LITERALLY, ALL I WANT IS TO BE IN YOUR PRESENCE”
My mind tried to argue: “What about food? What about air? How can that be all I need?”
But You answered through @iamjgoss:
“You lack nothing, okay? As long as you got Him in your life, nothing is missing. Everything is very intentional.”
So today I believe it:
AS LONG AS I HAVE YOU IN MY LIFE AND I’M DWELLING IN YOUR PRESENCE, I LACK NOTHING. NOTHING IS MISSING!!
Lord, when I feel like I’m lacking, remind me: I’m not.
You know what I need before I even ask.
When You say “no,” I hear Your grace: “Nik, my grace is sufficient.”
So I receive it now:
Your support. Your help. Your favor. Your resources.
Your strength. Your blessings. Your love. Your kindness.
Your protection. Your wisdom. Your peace. Your joy.
IT IS ALL SUFFICIENT FOR ME!!!
OUR GOD OWNS IT ALL!!!
Like Ceri said: I can lose everything. I can lose everyone. But I can never lose You. And once I have You, I have ALL I NEED!!! Clock it!
God, for me and my daughter Ember, and for every person reading this:
Teach us to WAKE UP EVERY DAY TO OUR GOD MORNING ROUTINE.
Cover us under Your wings, Psalm 91:4.
Fill us with fullness of joy in Your presence, Psalm 16:11.
Make us alert to the schemes of the enemy so we don’t fall into his traps.
Help us get closer to You.
Make You our top priority.
Because there is NO GREATER WISDOM THAN GOD’S WISDOM.
So as for me, today and every day:
GOD, LITERALLY, ALL I WANT IS TO BE IN YOUR PRESENCE
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
BE GREAT EVERY DAY…WE ROLL WITH GOD
GOD ALWAYS KNOWS BEST!!
