Prayer Request
I got conflicting messages today. One on this site saying dont seek dont ask dont knock just relax. But then my meditation on a different devotion app was luke 11:9 ask seek knock. Suggesting I should ask seek knock. Maybe God is saying I have already asked so relax. But then I'm taking it as dont ask for anything. Its all confusing. And I really need help relaxing. I am super uptight and tense and anxious all the time. Always trying to escape the present to get to the future gifts and blessings but he has given me so much now and these tjings aren't making me content. I am still hungry for the next thing. I only know what i think will satisfy me. Lord my prayer is that I walk in completeness free of anxiety and people pleasing. That your spirit is enough to satisfy me. I am tired of being ungrateful and lustful and envious and unsatisfied and depressed and prideful and boastful and jealous and feing drained of energy. My strength is not enough to find fulfillment. I am poor in spirit and I pray this isn't my normal. There has to be better state of being. There has too. This feels endless.

Whatever you feel is not who you are. You are a beloved child of God. It is God's truth /word over your feelings. Which one is trustworthy? Definitely not your feelings. You should live by faith and not by feelings. Many have been deceived by feelings. Read Rev.12 it says many have been deceived.

God's word is not confusing. You already said God in His word (Lk.11:9) told you to ask, then ask God what you really want which you already mentioned. Do not confuse God's word over any other consoling word. Always take God's word. I feel you brother for I experienced the same condition but praise God I have overcome through Jesus Christ. Do not throw away your great confidence in the Lord for it will greatly be rewarded. Remember our victory is already done no matter what we go through. I pray for you
Thank you for all those words. It is more than helpful.
Thank you God bless you.
I pray that you find comfort in the Lord and can feel content in His spirit.
