How to Understand?

When you have something that you don't really want to give up but you ask someone for help to give you strength that you don't actually want, He won't give anything to you until you're actually ready to receive what you've asked for. Don't expect things to happen because you ask without a whole heart. Understand that God wants the best for you. You just need to be ready for the best first. You may not understand what 'the best for you' is even when you believe you're sure. It's something you learn as you grow in the Lord. It's something He teaches you as you become older, not something you understand right off. It's hard to understand that and accept that but once you do you can truly move forward.
