Maybe you have a problem with drinking. Instead of demanding that you stop cold turkey and saying how much your behavior disgusts Him, God will point out your problem to you and urge you to be honest with Him that you have an addiction. Once you are talking to Him about it, then He might want to teach you lessons about depending on Him instead of instantly curing you. God is not a fan of giving us all instant cures and quick fixes. He brings trials into our lives for positive reasons, and He won’t remove them prematurely. So while Satan will try to impersonate God’s Voice and tell you how disappointed God is with you for being less than perfect, God is going to teach you how to use your struggle to increase your trust and dependency on Him.
