Faith.

Maybe God doesn't give us certain things because He knows us better than we know ourselves. He knows that if He gave us [blank] then we would boast about it, be selfish about it, or maybe even find our worth in it.

Maybe God says NO to us in order to make way for a greater YES in the future.

I believe these things to be true. But then again, my mere human ability to understand God's great plan for the universe is simply...lacking.

I think I'll just have faith, and keep praying.
