To covet is to hotly pursue what we want.
The problem is that I'm not getting what I want.
We are a combination of appetites, which cannot be fully satisfied.
They are unquenchable, and cannot be fulfilled.
Pause.
Say, I'm not getting my way.
1. Ask Jesus with the same fervency that you seek in the world to obtain the desire.
Channel it into Him.
Unload on Him.
He may say no, but He can handle it.
2. Learn to take no for an answer.
If something is important to you, it will be important to Him.
Go to Him.
He is the only one who can do something about it.
3. If you have offended someone, say I know what's part of the problem.
It's that I'm not getting my way.
