Answered Prayers

I woke up this morning, maybe from a dream, thinking about something that I wanted. Thing is, as soon as I set my feet on the floor, that thing had fleeted from my mind.
The past twenty four hours have left me with an array of emotions including fear, anxiety, curiosity, and happiness. This morning, I am thinking: why am I not satisfied with everything that I have. I should not want for anything, right?
I realize now that everytime I pray to God for something, to keep me safe, to help me reach my ambitions, that those prayers have already been answered. How can I pray that I make a profound impact on lives when I am overlooking what I have already accomplished? Truth is, we always want more, not remembering that God really doesn't put more in us than we can bear. That means that at a given time, He is simply preparing you what whatever load you are to carry in His will.
