God is the only one who knows which layer should come off first and when it should happen.  In other words, a person may not find total deliverance from a painful eating disorder today, but might be delivered from unforgiveness toward a parent.  God always wants you to be delivered from something right now.  No matter how He does it or how long it takes, you must trust that His timing is perfect.  He knows when you&#8217;re ready for the next step.  It may not be exactly the way you want it at the moment, but there is always deliverance available to us anytime we make ourselves available to it.  We must sustain a spirit of grateful dependence upon Him and be willing to say as David did,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You are my God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My times are in Your hand;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deliver me from the hand of my enemies.
