Happines is really important in people's life. Many people life's goal is to be happy. But the big question is that I want to ask. What if you won’t get the things that you desire, what if God in his majesty and power says "no" to the things you ask, will you still be happy, could you go on living your life in a positive way? Could you go on living life itself.
Isaiah 12:3 | With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.What if you are not going to be earning the amount of money that you like or need for everyday living. What if you are not going to live the certain house that you wanted or not have a house at all. Could you still say that God I'll still trust you and I'm excited about living the life that you gave me? Could you still say Lord Jesus I believe in you and I'll find meaning and purpose in the circumstances I'm in?
2 Chronicles 9:7 | How happy your people must be! How happy your officials, who continually stand before you and hear your wisdom!Let me tell you this. To belong and have a relationship, to be joyful, to be happy, deep in our hearts and mind, that's what we really want in this world and in this very life. Truth of the matter is. It is not guaranted that the things we wanted, the things we desire can lead us to hapiness. So, if that is the case. When you pray and ask God, why not ask directly and be specific. Ask for peace of mind to the point that you can soundly sleep at night. Ask for love, to be cared, to be longed for. Ask for purpose and the feeling that you belong and your existence is needed. You know what? Those people who ask for those specific things, are living life differently than other people. They are living the awesome life of peace and love.
Luke 6:31 | Happy are those hearing the word of God and keeping it!Just to clear, richness or having a big lump sum of money in your pocket is not the purpose of living this life. Material things never equate to true happiness. Yes, there are many people living in earth who found peace, happiness, joy and love while having money but their goal and mindset are different. They don't worship money. They see it as a tool so that they can bless and make others happy.
1 Timothy 6:8 | There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.

People often use the idea that God wants them to be happy as a way to justify sinful behavior.
God's highest purpose in our lives is to make us like Christ. That usually involves unhappiness. Not happiness. Making us happy is often our highest priority but it's not God's highest priority. If you believe that you will become bitter and disillusioned.
Thank for the comment @barncat. I agree "God's highest purpose is our lives is to make us like Christ".
I love your picture. Bees aren't my favorite insect by far because some sting, but I do think they are a wonderful part of nature. They look pretty cool too. You've captured a great moment with this bee and his flower.
Thanks for the comment @queenvick.
