So often we as believers continually ask for things hoping God will provide all our earthly desires.
The following is a quote from a book by the title, "Ten Dumb Things Smart Christians Believe" by Larry Osbborne. "Our job is not so much to find something; it's to become someone---a reflection of His image and character where we find ourselves."
We have all desired things that were not God's will, but hung onto them until we saw that God was not answering and then decided it has been too long and will probably not happen.
I have had desires like this, letting go was not what I wanted, but when I saw that it was God's will, obeying actually was a release from those things. When we obey and seek Christ in us, then He works to release us from our earthly desires to move us toward trusting Him more.
It's the letting go that brings freedom from the bondage of our flesh.
