It is so easy to dwell on your desires and dreams. It is dangerous to do this because they grow into obsessions and they have the power to drive you mad with grief and pain. I have made this mistake before and it nearly cost me my relationship with God. That is something that I truly value above all else. I have learned to let my desires and dreams smolder and wither. A spouse will come when God decides that I am ready. It doesn't mean I have to let my dream go. It just means I have to shift my focus and let God be the master of my dreams and desires. I have struggled so much with allowing God to control my life. As a christian, I am quite sure that many experience and struggle with this and why wouldn't they? They're human and sinners just like me. I have to let go of my pride and stubbornness. Holding onto something and withholding it from God is truly draining. When I think about it logically, surrendering to God isn't slavery. It's freedom and it grants you peace and joy.
All good deeds mean nothing if you don't do them for the glory of God. Now what does that mean? What I try to do is to praise God in everything I say and do because it is only through His good graces that we can even breathe. This is a great way out of the pits of depression. This is what I strive for
