Embracing Faith Over Wishes
Wishes? Faith and hope are about trusting in something greater than ourselves, believing that there is purpose and promise in our journey. They encourage us to keep moving forward, even when the path is unclear. Unlike wishes, which can feel fleeting and reliant on luck, faith and hope ground us in the reality that we can actively seek growth and strength, no matter the circumstances. While a genie grants wishes that may or may not align with our true needs, faith and hope inspire us to cultivate resilience, seek connection, and embrace the possibilities that come with trusting in a divine plan.
“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see”
Wishes and Faith:
Wishes—what can we say about them? They represent the things we long for, often knowing the odds of them coming true are slim, maybe one in a hundred. Still, we dream, and often we dream of the impossible.
John 15:7: “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you”
Take these, for example:
1. I wish for a beautiful white farmhouse in a southern state, with a large field, a barn, a two-car garage, and a view of the mountains right from the front porch. Along with my new home, I also wish for the pickup and Jeep I’ve always dreamed of.
James 1:6: “I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours”
2. I wish for perfect health for my wife, my boys, and myself—that we’d never experience pain, anxiety, or worry again. I wish my wife’s knees could be fully healed so she could walk normally, and we could enjoy the outdoors like we used to. I wish my boys didn’t have to carry the burdens they do at such young ages.
2 Corinthians 5:7
For we walk by Faith, not by sight.
3. I wish I could work from home as a full-time author, making a living through book sales, with an agent getting my work out there. That would be the dream—doing what I love while providing for my family.
Psalm 20:4 ESV
May he grant you your heart’s desire and fulfill all your plans.
But these are just wishes, fantasies I know may never come true.
Then we look at faith. Faith teaches me to be content where I am. My home may not be a farmhouse or a log cabin—heck, it’s not even close to the kind of place people dream of owning. But faith allowed us to call it home. Faith allowed it to be paid off, and faith helps us make ends meet. When something breaks, by God’s grace, we somehow have just enough saved to fix it.
Philippians 4:19 (KJV) . “But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
Faith is knowing that God will not forsake us. As the song above says, “All our Hope is in Jesus, thank God that yesterday is gone, our sins are forgiven, and we’ve been washed by the blood.” The real question is: Are we content? That’s often a hard one, especially when we find ourselves bargaining with God. As my Small Group leader asks, “Is God enough?”
Then there’s work. I’m in the middle of possibly losing my job, and the worst part is not knowing when or how soon it will happen. Living paycheck to paycheck is stressful enough, but now the company owner is selling the business and keeping us in the dark about what’s coming next.
Philippians 4:6-7
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
On top of that, my health isn’t great, and I’m not exactly young enough to start over in a new career. That’s where the fantasy sneaks back in: Maybe I could find a way to work from home. Maybe, if I could be my own boss, things would be different. Or maybe I should add to my wish list the dream of spending the rest of my life as an author, writing books for a living.
But who am I kidding? I can’t even get support from my own family outside of my wife and our boys, let alone expect strangers to buy my book and think it’s worth reading.
“For even his own brothers did not believe in him.”
Still, enough with the pity, patty, poopy, party. I could have given some polished, “Miss America” type of answers about what I wish for, but instead, I’ve shared what’s really on my mind, heart, and soul. It may not be perfect, but it’s real—and it’s where I am.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
Thank you for Visiting and Reading. While this post was meant for fun, it holds a lot of truth and reflects many of the struggles I face, just as I’m sure others do.
I’m not a preacher or teacher, just someone with my own challenges. But even when I forget, I must remind myself to lean on God, trusting that He’s with me every step of the way and will never forsake me. And I hope you know that He loves you and is always with you, too.
“The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: ‘I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.’”
Be Blessed and Be a Blessing.
You Are Loved.
Please keep me in your Prayers.

The book is very good, it explains your views perfectly without offending others. It resonated with me deeply and you know I’m spiritual not religious so yeah I’m thinking Amazon probably buried it. I hear that is common if you don’t pay them to advertise. I am going to have a link on my site to purchase my book directly from IS which pays me a lot more than Amazon will, I will be using many different avenues I’m thinking.

If it doesn’t gain traction, I might consider letting it go altogether. We’ll see.

Willie, a beautiful text where you emphasize the power of faith, which is greater than our desires and expectations. Indeed, in a time of uncertainty in this current scenario that we are living in, we must not lose heart in the face of challenges. As for your employment situation, the best thing to do is wait. I believe that “All things work together for good for those who love God and walk according to His purpose.” I know the idea of changing careers seems scary, but it can be something positive so that you have fewer days of work and more time for yourself and to dedicate yourself to the work you love. As for the wishes of the magic lamp, oh, dreaming, imagining and sighing for something, it never hurts. Thank you for sharing this beautiful text and Leo’s images with us 🦁. May God’s blessings be upon the lives of your entire family. 🤗🙌🏻✨🌜🦁🌞

Ok Willie…….so first I so love all the pics you used in your post. Especially the Lion! I get the dreams too. We all kinda dream. I would just love to somehow be published like you have at least! It’s all perspective and someone is always further along then us yes?!
Now about the job thing. My husband has been laid off a couple of times. One time right before we left for a Cruise we could not cancel. But GOD taught me a lot about what you talk about here………contentment. I learned to be content with HIM. If we somehow lost our house and then dealing with a loss of a job, I still HAD JESUS! And I celebrated that fact. Of course it was all my faith too. GOD walked with us closely during those layoff times and it was amazing how HE provided to keep us going and no, we didn’t lose the house either. We waited for a job too. Six months one time, nine the other time. And GOD showed me how to rest in the waiting! So I will start praying for you today my brother in CHRIST. That my GOD will meet all your needs because HE is so good and faithful to those who love HIM! YOU ARE LOVED – oh I liked that pic too!!!!!

It’s a beautiful reflection, Willie, about what’s really important in our lives. Many times, we want things that maybe we won’t be satisfied with in the future. Or we spend part of our lives trying to make dreams come true, when in fact, we should be grateful for what we already have and try to improve it, but without allowing greed and worries to get the better of us, to the point of falling ill and despairing. The importance of faith in invisible things is essential to keep us going. Thank you, my friend, for the beautiful text and the beautiful illustrations. Have a blessed weekend. 😃🦁

I know how much it means for a writer to have an audience. We long for connection, for our message to be heard.
Unfortunately, most new authors struggle even to find a publisher these days. Fewer people read. The internet and other media have reduced publishing returns, and consequently publishing houses.
Most first books fail, financially. They do not receive much marketing, and the competition is tremendous. There are some 3 million new books published each year.
That does not make writing a lost art. The God who made us and filled us w/ words still appreciates our efforts. He reads every draft. He, in fact, is the source of godly inspiration.
Many writers we now recognize as famous wrestled w/ failure. Those include Herman Melville, John Steinbeck, JRR Tolkien, Agatha Christie, and JK Rowling. So you are in good company. Do not lose heart.
