Why Do I Still Feel Poor When God’s Given Me So Much

Have you ever looked at your life and wondered, “Why do I still feel like I don’t have enough?” I have asked myself that same question. In this episode, I talk about a time when I struggled with feeling inadequate during the holidays, even while knowing that God had already blessed me in so many ways. I explore the dangers of comparison, especially in a world shaped by social media, and I share how true abundance is not about what we gain but about what we gratefully recognize. Through personal stories and biblical insights, I explain how shifting our focus from what is missing to what is already present can completely change our mindset and bring us peace.

Last week, in Episode 331, “Why Does God Feel So Silent Right Now?”, I shared how God’s quiet seasons do not mean He is absent. Often, they are the times when He is carrying us the most. Building on that truth, this episode reminds us that we are far richer than we realize when we choose gratitude instead of comparison.
