Not Getting What I Need Or Want

Netta

Humble Servant of All
I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. It's important to remember that everyone's journey with faith is unique, and it's okay to have doubts and struggles. Here are a few thoughts that might help:

1. **God's Love and Grace**: Remember that God's love and grace are not based on what we receive but on His unconditional love for us. Sometimes, what we perceive as "lesser" can be part of a bigger plan that we might not understand right now.

2. **Comparison**: It's natural to compare ourselves to others, but everyone's path is different. What might seem like "better" for someone else might not be what's best for you in the long run.

3. **Hope and Salvation**: The message of the Bible is one of hope and salvation for all who believe. No one is beyond God's reach, and His grace is sufficient for everyone.

4. **Seek Support**: Consider reaching out to a trusted spiritual leader, counselor, or support group. They can provide guidance and support as you navigate these feelings.

5. **Prayer and Reflection**: Sometimes, taking time for prayer and reflection can help bring clarity and peace. It might also be helpful to read passages that speak of God's love and promises.

6. **Community**: Being part of a faith community can provide support and encouragement. Sharing your struggles with others who understand can be comforting.

Remember, you are not alone, and there is always hope. If you ever feel overwhelmed, please reach out to someone who can offer support.

proverbs 18:21    English Standard Version

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.

Proverbs 6:2    English Standard Version

if you are snared in the words of your mouth, caught in the words of your mouth,

Wow!  Right now you are planting seeds for your future life. Your words are the most powerful things in the universe. God spoke the earth and everything on it by His Words. "let there be light, and there was light". Jesus could not have come to this earth unless the prophets in the Old Testament had spoken Him into this earthly life. God could not do it directly, but only through the prophets.  Words are seeds we plant.  If we want a good crop to harvest, we must plant good seeds. 

What do you want in your life?

John 15:10-12    10"If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. 11"These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full. 12"This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.

Jesus gave us two commandments to follow. 1.  Love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength.  2.  Love your neighbor as yourself. 

If you got something really good in your life that no one else had, would you want others to be happy for you, and with you? Do for others the same as you would want done for you. 

Our goal in this life is to become like Jesus.

Romans 8:29   English Standard Version

For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

God's Word tells us how to get the things we want.  

Matthew 6:33   English Standard Version

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

The kingdom of God works on different principles than the worldly principles.  In order to get, you have to give. In order to reap, you have to plant. In order to gain your life and be happy, you have to lose it. ( Matthew 16:25  English Standard Version

For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.)

“Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough†

― Oprah Winfrey

“One of the main reasons that we lose our enthusiasm in life is because we become ungrateful..we let what was once a miracle become common to us. We get so accustomed to his goodness it becomes a routine..†
― Joel OsteenYour Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential

“You can be the most beautiful person in the world and everybody sees light and rainbows when they look at you, but if you yourself don't know it, all of that doesn't even matter. Every second that you spend on doubting your worth, every moment that you use to criticize yourself; is a second of your life wasted, is a moment of your life thrown away. It's not like you have forever, so don't waste any of your seconds, don't throw even one of your moments away.†

― C. JoyBell C.

In the name of Jesus, I loose the Holy Spirit into your life for wisdom.  Thank you Jesus.
 
Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.

When I feel unseen by others, remember that you can see me. You know the sacrifices I've made and the hard decisions I've chosen for others’ sakes. You see my generous heart, and everything I gave will return to me tenfold.

I have walked through seasons that should have broken me, yet I never lose hope. You saw my struggles because you have been with me every step of the way. You know I am starting to lose sight of my goals, but just hold on tight, because it’s about to come to me soon.
