I don’t know of anyone who truly wants it.
We live our lives seeking security. We seek security from our family, friends, jobs, incomes, retirement accounts, communities and local police.
Faith is the absence of security in the tangible.
When our security is removed, we begin to pray and ask God to return it to us.
But it is only through the loss of security that faith can be strengthened.
No one I know, myself included, is quick to cut all our ties with what makes us feel secure.
So God will remove those ties without our permission and put us in a position for our faith to be strengthened.
It is simply His way of helping us make the transferance of getting our security from our tangible world to getting it from Him.
