The tremendous success of the first two titles in the Kingdom Hearts series placed an even larger amount of pressure on Kingdom Hearts 3 to be one of the greatest games of all time… and those lofty expectations grew to a level that would’ve been impossible for any sequel to fulfill. While Kingdom Hearts 3 is a solid and enjoyable entry in the series, many fans and reviewers expressed disappointment in it because it wasn’t everything they hoped it would be, allowing themselves to be let down by promises that it had never made.

If I’m being honest, many of my personal prayers have placed expectations on God that He never actually promised. He is the omniscient Ruler of the universe, not a vending machine waiting to attend to my every whim. The Lord promised to supply all of our needs, but that is based on HIS definition of the word, not ours. When we set our hearts on the Lord doing things for us that He never guaranteed, we set ourselves up for disappointment and disillusionment. Jesus disappointed many of His followers who were expecting a conquering Messiah instead of a sacrificial Lamb, but rather than giving them what they were asking for He gave them what they truly needed. Let’s humbly come to the Lord in prayer for everything we lack while keeping in mind He isn’t our personal genie… He is our King.

Therefore do not worry, saying, “What shall we eat?” or “What shall we drink?” or “What shall we wear?” For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:31-33

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19
