Since I’ve been so brutally honest in this space about how I often feel about myself, let me just go ahead and share another secret:

This bears no reflection on the character or attributes of God—I’ll be the first to proclaim that He is good all the time, that His ways are higher, and that He is always right, even when I don’t understand.

But here’s the hard thing I wrestle with sometimes.

I get confused when I see people declare things boldly in faith, almost as if they’re entitled to blessing, like they can demand things from God just because they belong to Him. I know we are His. I know He loves us. But I often wonder… is that what faith is supposed to look like? It’s not what I see in the Scriptures.

That posture has never sat quite right with me. Because honestly, I don’t feel like I can ask God for more. He’s already done enough.

As a mom of two sons, I couldn’t imagine giving either of them up—especially knowing they’d suffer and die for things they didn’t do. Even if I knew they would rise in three days, I couldn’t bear it. But God? He did it. He gave His Son. And Jesus came willingly—a sacrifice to atone for my sin. For your sin. For all of us.

That’s why, when I say in my previous post that God thinks you’re worth dying for, this is what I mean. Not some feel-good slogan. But a love so big and sacrificial it defies understanding. A love that didn’t just feel something—it acted.

So how could I possibly ask for more?

I know what Scripture says about prayer. I’ve done the studies. I’ve read the books. I know that He welcomes us to come to Him—to pour out our hearts freely. And I do that. I’m so grateful that when I don’t have the words, the Holy Spirit intercedes for me. When all I have is a sigh or a tear, He knows exactly what it means.

But still… there’s this quiet hesitation in me when it comes to asking for anything more. It’s not about theology. It’s not about what’s true of God. It’s a me thing.

Do you ever feel like that too? Like salvation alone would be more than enough, and anything else feels like asking too much?

If that’s you, I see you. I am you.

But let’s remind each other today:

He already gave the most valuable thing—His Son.

And that same love says we’re welcome.

Not just to be saved.

But to be known.

To be heard.

To be cared for.

So even when it feels like too much to ask—

Let’s come boldly.

Not because we’re entitled.

But because He’s that good.

Let’s talk about it.

Have you ever wrestled with feeling like you shouldn’t ask God for more… even though you know He says you can?

Drop a comment, send me a message, or share this post with a friend who needs the reminder that He welcomes you—fully.

You are loved, seen, heard, and still invited to come.
