A spiritual restlessness where worldly pleasures lose their appeal isn't anxiety but a sign God is preparing you for something new. This holy dissatisfaction coexists with love and gratitude, a yearning that calls you toward stillness and clearer guidance from God.
Maybe you're here right now and it feels like everything's kind of just losing its color. I'm not saying that you're ungrateful for the life that God has given you. I'm not saying that you dislike the people in your life. I'm not even saying that you don't see a purpose necessarily, but there's just this sense that there has to be something more. The cravings for this world and the pleasures of this world and the things you once enjoyed, there's just this disconnect that you can't explain. And this is different from just general anxiety because sometimes we get anxious about things. What job should I What should I choose? What should I do specifically in terms of my schooling? Who should I connect with? What do I need to do for ministry? But this is different. This is just no matter what you do, there's just this dissatisfaction. You still feel joy and love and peace. You know the Lord loves you, but there's this, this sense that something has to change. There's something more. There's something bigger. There's something right around the corner. And I know I'm not where God wants me to be exactly. I just don't know where he wants me to go. That holy dissatisfaction that disconnect with, that discontent with the things of this world, that could be a sign that God is preparing an instruction for you. He's getting you to a quieter place so that he can clearly speak to you.
