Always Wanting More

So often it seems like I am praying two prayers that greatly contradict…

Thank you God for all I have

and yet…

God, please give me more

On one hand, I am blessed beyond compare. I feel quite content. Packed schedule of things to do and show up for, plenty of food and extra blessings, and family and friends to share it with.

But on the other hand, I am overwhelmed. I am over-scheduling. I am overbuying. I want what someone else has. I have so much but why does it seem like so little?

God, why doesn’t my life look like theirs? God, when will you give me what I’ve been asking for? God, when will you give me more and more?

I give him my laundry list of my plans, ideas, wants, and wishes.

What if instead of seeking His “presents”, we seek His “presence.”

Our God knows exactly what we need, and when we need it. He will not withhold a good thing from us. He knows how much more our schedule can handle. He knows what is too much for us.

We ought to seek Him! His face- His presence- His guidance- His friendship.

Relax your spirit when you come to Him in prayer, and ask for your wants and needs with the confident knowledge that God is almighty, and all powerful, and that He will answer according to His divine will.

If you are always wanting more, pray and ask God to help you to be content, and to trust that He know exactly what we need!
