Bigger

 by Ruth Writes

You asked for enough - enough money to get

through the month, enough strength to make it to

Friday, enough peace to sleep without

overthinking.

God smiled at your careful prayers and whispered,

"Nah, bigger."

You asked for a job that pays the bills.

He planned a calling that feeds your soul.

You asked for healing from what hurt you.

He wanted freedom from what held you.

You prayed for love that wouldn't leave.

God prepared love that would grow you.

You asked for calm days.

He designed brave ones.

You wanted answers by tomorrow.

God was building something that would still make

sense years from now.

While you were asking for survival, He was writing

abundance. While you wanted safe, He wanted

full.

So don't shrink your hope.

Don't negotiate your faith.

The same God who carried you before is still

expanding you now.

You prayed for enough.

He answered with fruitfulness.

Nah...bigger.
