We’re not supposed to want… so why do we?

We’re not supposed to want… so why do we?

There’s a verse most of us know: “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” Or more accurately… I shall not lack.

So let’s be honest for a moment. If that’s true, why do you still feel like there’s more? More clarity. More peace. More impact. More of God in your work. More for your patients than what you’re currently seeing.

Is that lack? Or something else? Because Scripture is clear: You can ask for anything you truly need in God. Wisdom. Guidance. Provision. Access to Him.

The tension isn’t: “Something is missing.” The tension is: “Am I fully accessing what’s already been given?”

That feeling of “there must be more” is not evidence of deficiency.It’s awareness. Awareness that there is more available than what you are currently experiencing. And that’s why the invitation still stands:

Seek—and you will find. Not because God is withholding, but because He desires to be found in deeper ways. This week, don’t dismiss that feeling. Don’t label it as discontent. Instead, pause and ask:

“God, where am I not yet walking in what You’ve already provided?”

You are not called to lack, but you may be standing at the edge of something you haven’t stepped into yet. And maybe…this isn’t about wanting more. It’s about discovering what’s already yours.

“You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.” 

-Jeremiah 29:13
