Why Doesn’t God Give you What you Want?

Why doesn’t God give you what you want? God did better than that! He gave you a way to create what you want on a continuing basis. He gave you a way to manipulate life according to whatever you desire. There are infinite resources at man’s disposal and you only need to learn about them and take advantage of them.
One resource is our incredible mind—both of them! The conscious mind can create conscious thoughts which can reprogram your subconscious (or creative) mind. John Maxwell said, “Man is the only known creature who can shape and remold himself by altering his thoughts.” You are right now where your thoughts have brought you and you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you. Your thoughts create your actions, your actions create your habits and your habits create your life.
God gave us universal laws by which to live. These universal laws are orderly—just look at our universe. There is order in the planets, the stars, the plants, animals, etc. The universe plans on abundance and success for all—there are no limits to the possibilities that man can accomplish by obeying universal laws. Spiritual supply from the universe is never depleted. To get more, you have to have to create thoughts of ‘more’ for yourself. If you want better health, turn your thought to better health. If you want love, turn your thoughts to love; if you want happiness and joy, think happy and joyful thoughts. If you want abundance, think only abundant thoughts. If you want hard times, think about hard times and what the recession will bring to you.
You must focus your energy on what you want and appreciate what you have now! (Many people miss the following step in getting what they want.) If you want a new house, then make the one you have a beautiful and cared for as you can. If you want a new car, do not complain and degrade the one you have. If you want a new job, do the best you can in the one you have. If you cannot show the universe that you are grateful for what you have, how can it give you more? You must create the energy for more by giving more where you are. When the change the energy where you are, you change the energy for you to create more than you have. If you don’t take care of what you have, why would the universe give you more?
Your present self-image was built on your own imaginative pictures of yourself in the past which you determined out of your interpretations of past experience. Use the same method to build a better self-image than you previously used to build an inadequate one. See yourself as successful as you want to be and pay attention to the small details of the pictures. Imagine how you would feel if you were already the sort of personality you want to be. This exercise builds new memories and creates a new self image. You have the success mechanism within you. Turn the key to a better life by utilizing the powers within you.
