7.11.23 - Are you asking God for enough?
Hi ,
Last year I read this book Bamboozled by Jesus by Yvonne Orji. It was such a great book. One of the things that stuck with me since reading the book was the chapter "Give God a big bag to fill". She made a list of things she was expecting God for in the house she was going to buy. It sounded crazy but she believed and God blew her mind. The other thing she said is "Expectation is free. It costs nothing to believe."
So why is it so hard to ask God for big things?
I don't know about you, but it's easy to ask God to protect my family, or heal someone, or deliver someone out of a tough situation. But to ask God to do something for me? That feels selfish.
I don't know why. I can't explain it, but I do know it's not like God to not want to bless me, or you.
Now I'm reading another book "Feeding the Soul" by Tabitha Brown and she talks about dreaming big. She also talks about exercising your faith to work towards the things you are believing God to do.
If you haven't read either of these books, they are amazing and written by amazing women. I highly recommend both!
Back to my point.
It's really hard for me to ask God for anything for myself, especially something big that would be a huge blessing. I've talked to others and they tell me they feel the same way. So I thought you may struggle with this too.
I've had to start praying about this. Asking God to deliver me from this bondage of being afraid or feeling selfish to ask Him to do something huge for me. Deep down I know what I desire. And I know God knows everything but it's hard for me to speak them out loud and expect it to happen. Sounds crazy right???
I wish I had the answer to fix this, but the only thing I know to do is pray about it.
I encourage you to pray as well and start asking God to do something that will blow your mind.
I appreciate you reading this email and I hope it helps you! If it does, please share this business with someone you know. #helponehelpmany
