God has a beautiful way of reminding us that his goodness was never meant to be limited by our fear.
Angel: She’s afraid to want more.
God: I know. She’s been disappointed enough times that wanting feels like setting herself up.
She just has to be reminded that I put the wanting there in the first place

Angel: She keeps shrinking what she prays for.
God: She thinks she’s protecting herself. She isn’t. She’s just keeping herself from receiving what I’ve been preparing.
Angel: Will she let herself want it again?
God: She’s starting to. In small moments. She’ll pray a bigger prayer and then immediately apologize for it. She’s testing the water.

Angel: What do we do?
God: We meet her there. Every time she dares to want a little more, we let her feel me confirming it. She’ll trust the wanting eventually. She just has to be reminded that I put the wanting there in the first place.
