Psalm 106:15 (NKJV) 15 And He gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul.
It is easy to ask God for what we do not have, it is hard to receive what we do not need! What does that mean, I am glad you asked.
Our lives are filled with cares and desire if we have no God to turn to, He wants to give us what we need, because our attention to Him is so distracted we often let desire become our god. We can ask for the wrong things, they have nothing to do with what God needs to do through us, so others are attracted to Him. Our Father often withholds our petitions because we do not see the whole picture, James 4:3 that prayer request will do more harm than good, however if we persist when God says no, we do so at our own peril. When once desire is fulfilled, there comes a hardness into our lives because that thing often replaces God. The results are disastrous we no longer hear the song of our God because the heart has been stolen by lust of the flesh.
You can find comfort in a better way, 1 Corinthians 12:31 (HCSB) 31 But desire the greater gifts. And I will show you an even better way, He wants for you to have the best, but you must trust Him. Do that today, tell the Christ who died for all our sins you will trust only Him today.
Heavenly Father let my heart be stirred by what comes from Your hand, let me be satisfied with what You provide and let nothing distract me from You. May all You give to me be used to bless those around me. Amen
