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.
