James 1:2-8
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
Reflection
If we let go and let God when it comes to our desires God gives in greater measure than any earthly thing. More and more through giving your unmet desires to God this
perseverance allows God to grow you. Think about this. If God loved you so much to give His only Son so that He might have a relationship with you, how far will He go to fulfill your unmet desires? Why do you think we hesitate to give our desires to God?
