Personally, I've dealt with asking quite nicely for extended periods for something that simply is not on His agenda for me at the moment. I've had to learn to ask less and communicate more... telling Him how I feel and then asking for help in sorting out what I ought to do, confirmation that I'm making a wise choice, and strength to follow through. I still don't have exactly what I want, but I am finding what I need to get there through little wonders every day. And as I pour out my thanks, He pours out His love as only the best Father can.
