It’s a normal human trait to have expectations. The challenge comes in when we start spending time in a future that isn’t real and aren’t fully present to what God may be doing right now. The more we can remember the prayer that Jesus gave us as a gift, the prayer we call the ‘Lord’s Prayer’, especially the part about ‘thy will be done’, the more able we will be to receive whatever we receive from God and release it for God’s purposes in the world. Sounds like living generously! – Pastor Trudy Stoffel
