Is it possible to be living in your answered prayers and yet be unhappy?
Hold on, before you answer, let me provide some context.
As humans, we, many times, have desires, heart longings, or prayer requests that we are looking forward to their fulfilment or manifestation. It could be a new job, a child, a new role, or a marital relationship. Most times, it would seem that getting these things would be a major source of happiness or fulfilment for one, but is it always true?
Does getting a new job automatically imply a new level of happiness or fulfilment?
Would getting married or engaged really fulfil you?
Would birthing a child give you that feeling of wholeness you desire?
Why these questions you may ask?
I’ve been opportune to get answers to several of my heart’s desires and prayers, but I realise it doesn’t mean they won’t come with their own set of challenges.
Blazing the trail in new waters may come with feelings of loneliness, and questioning one’s decision among other feelings. Like a buyer’s remorse, you may feel sad even amid your answered prayers. Now, is this a bad feeling?
Getting a breakthrough may also come with new things to learn/do that may make you wonder if you really like the breakthrough.
Have you ever experienced this? When internal doubts and questions arise even in plenty, what do you do?
How do you ensure you stay grateful when challenges tempt you not to be?
