The more we desire something, the more we worry about getting it. Sometimes the worry can get so bad, so all-consuming, so unbearable, that we actually just want to give up the desire itself so we can escape all the anxiety attached to this desire.
No one wants to hear that dreaded phase, “It’s complicated.” In our hearts, we wonder, “Why does it need to be this difficult? Why won’t God just tell me what to do?”
It always hurts when someone loses interest. If you were in a relationship with someone who ended it even though you wanted to continue, the pain can be overwhelming.
