       You see, though, the only way you’re ever going to really succeed in this is by giving up control of it—by giving up your desire for it. It’s that very yearning feeling that’s prohibiting you from receiving. Only when that has been given up, can things really flow. When the wantingness is given up, then God’s power is allowed to flow. Life flows instead of death. There is no urgency to receive whatever it is. No urgency is present on the part of the person waiting for a spouse. Because, remember, “all that matters is God.” It may take some time, but my guess is that you will receive your spouse in due time after making this decision. God does care about what we want. He just doesn’t dig it when we desire it too strongly. And when giving up control, you don’t have to actually give it God. Sometimes that procedure makes the practice of this seem too stressful—and it can place an overall sense of obligation of keeping a new commandment. You simply can just give it up to yourself.
