I have no idea what quaker theology is, but it sounds like you do the same thing.
Look it up on Wikipedia and then you will know.

Hungering and thirsting after a closer walk with God and a greater sensitivity to His voice is quite normal and acceptable, but it is the wrong use of the word "righteousness". We are already satisfied in terms of righteousness because God has given it to us as a gift. But we do groan within ourselves because we live in a sinful body with its restrictions and hindrances while our hearts want to soar like eagles to do the will of God and to use His abilities and tools to do the work He has for us to do. We groan within ourselves because we long, with all creation which groans also, to be revealed as the glorified sons of God. That is why you hunger and thirst.
