Is It Selfish to Want More? Faith, Vision, and Trusting God With Your Desires

What if the thing you’ve been calling selfish is actually the very desire God placed in your heart on purpose?

So many faith-driven women feel stuck not because they lack discipline or strategy, but because they feel guilty wanting more. More impact. More freedom. More income. More joy. Somewhere along the way, we learned that dreaming bigger meant we weren’t trusting God. That planning meant control. That desire meant ego.

Avoiding Vision Keeps You Stuck

I’ve seen this pattern repeatedly, both in my own life and in the lives of women I work with. The internal dialogue sounds familiar: If I plan, am I controlling? If I want more, am I selfish? If I hope again, am I setting myself up for disappointment?

Avoiding vision doesn’t keep you faithful. It keeps you frozen. When you avoid naming what you want, you also avoid taking the steps that would move you forward. What often gets labeled as patience is actually protection. Protection from disappointment. Protection from vulnerability. Protection from being seen wanting something more.

Scripture reminds us that where there is no vision, people perish. That is not condemnation. It is an invitation to engage with God intentionally and allow Him to guide your life with purpose.

Desire Is Direction, Not Ego

One of the biggest misunderstandings in faith spaces is around desire itself. Desire is often framed as ego or temptation, something to suppress or distrust. But God frequently uses desire as direction. He plants something in your heart not to torment you, but to lead you.

When you delight in the Lord, the desires of your heart begin to align with His. That alignment is what allows vision to become stewardship rather than striving.

Clarity Prepares You to Partner With God

Many women have been taught that planning means they aren’t trusting God enough. But clarity is not about forcing outcomes or demanding timelines. It’s about readiness.

When you allow yourself to get clear, you’re not telling God what to do. You’re saying yes to partnership. Vision allows you to take the next faithful step even when you cannot see the entire path.

God often gives a glimpse of what is possible not so you can control the journey, but so you don’t quit when the trail becomes uncomfortable. You are not meant to see every step. You are meant to trust the next one.

Wanting More Expands Your Capacity

The guilt around wanting more is one of the biggest reasons women stay stuck. It sounds like humility, but it often functions like self-protection.

When you expand your vision, you expand your capacity. More capacity allows for more impact. More clarity allows for better stewardship. More freedom allows you to show up fully for the people you are called to serve.

Staying small does not honor God. It limits the ripple effect of your life. Humility is not hiding. Faith is not passivity. Trust does not require you to shrink your desires.

An Invitation to Trust What God Placed in You

Renewing your mind, as Romans 12:2 teaches, requires releasing old patterns. That includes religious conditioning that equates holiness with scarcity and faithfulness with silence.

As you move into a new season, consider asking a different question.

What if you trusted God enough to want what He has placed in your heart?

What if the very thing you have been avoiding is the doorway to deeper obedience, greater impact, and a fuller expression of who you were created to be?

This episode is an invitation to soften, reflect, and let God show you how good it can get, without guilt, without fear, and without striving.

You are not wrong for wanting more. You are being called forward.
