I have noticed a pattern that when I ask God for more — to know more of
his grace, to trust his promises more than my perceptions (faith), for a
deeper understanding of his word, for greater discernment and wisdom,
for more love for others, for more self-control, for more of his Holy
Spirit’s empowerment — what I receive is more pressure. And frequently
the kind of pressure I receive is often not what I thought I was asking
for, so I am at first confused and sometimes sinfully frustrated.
Because my conception (my imagination) of what “more” I needed was
different than God’s.
