When you want something,
Something that is truly important to you,
Ask God for it. Nothing ever comes from chasing it yourself.
Pray for it when you can and then immediately put it out of your mind.
Hand it over to Him. Avoid things that remind you of what you're after and just trust that God will deal with them in their own time.
The worst thing you could do is worry. Trusting God means that you have total faith that you will receive.
-("Ask and it shall be given to you, seek and ye shall find" wink

A good way to go about it in prayer is to also ask God for a sign or for him to tell you what you should do.
God rewards those who are persistent.
If you give up after a couple of tries then it might never be given to you
But if you are willing to stick to what God has told you to do, then just by faith you will receive it all the sooner.

Now you see, the reason for doing all that I had told you about earlier is that with all of your worrying thoughts out of them way,
You can focus on God instead
Things happen with FAITH, and it's only going to be harder if your mind is constantly wandering back to the same doubtful and desperate thoughts instead of staying on Him.
With great faith, even the greatest impossibilities can happen "in the twinkling of an eye."
-To quote my friend's favorite scripture; Matthew 21:21 - (Jesus replied,) "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also can you say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."

Something relating to relationships:
If that thing you are after is a guy/girl, then still follow these orders exactly the same
But putting them out of mind does not mean that you have to avoid them. Instead you should behave normally around them, and instead of trying to flirt or wonder if the feel the same way about you, just be their friend and help them out if they need help like a true friend should, all the while doing this without sexual tension or temptations, hopefully without these thoughts even entering your head.

And I would not be giving you these instructions if I did not follow them myself. I am a living example of what I say. There have been recent wants that I've been praying for. However, instead of thinking about what I should do to fulfill my desires, I put such thoughts of my head, and trust that if it be in God's glorious plan for my life, He will give me all that I have asked for.
All the time that I would spend worrying I instead spend focusing on Him and writing you these guidelines as his Holy Spirit has led me to do.
