Need Vs Desire

Came across this today -

How in our ignorance, we go on asking God for so many things,
when God in His own ways is trying to tell you, 'If you're not
married, you don't need to be", "If you don't have a child, you
don't need one", instead we pester Him so much with offerings,
flowers, tiyas, puja etc., that He lets us have what we want and
then we end up struggling with unhappy marriages, ungrateful
children, etc. How simple and peaceful if we can just leave to
God's Will and let our prayers be one of self-surrender only,
'O Lord, grace me with whatever You think is best for me".

I think it is a great idea to follow this if one wants to stay happy. Not blindly, but when the things one wants are actually outside one's control!
