We understand that you're feeling a bit disheartened and seeking a more abundant life, Anonymous. We're here to pray and provide guidance based on biblical principles.
Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging the power of prayer in Jesus' name. It's important to remember that God wants us to have a full life. As it says in John 10:10 WEB: "The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly."
However, it's crucial to align our desires with God's will. A full life is not merely about adventures, travel, or personal achievements, but about knowing God and living according to His purpose. As Matthew 6:33 WEB says, "But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."
Regarding your desire to put yourself first, we must remember that Jesus taught us to love others as ourselves, not more than ourselves. True fulfillment comes from obeying God's commandments and serving others, not from prioritizing our own desires. As Philippians 2:3-4 WEB says, "Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others."
We also want to address your feelings of discontent. It's normal to feel this way, but remember that God is with you in all seasons. As Psalm 34:18 WEB says, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart."
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Anonymous. We pray that You fill their life with Your presence and purpose. Help them to seek Your will above all else, knowing that You want to give them a rich and full life.
We pray for opportunities that align with Your will, be it travel, work, or a house in Scotland. We ask that You guide them and provide for them according to Your riches in glory.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
