Afraid to Ask - Letting Go of My Dream

We continue the discussion of why we are Afraid To Ask God to do what only God can do. Sometimes the reason we are afraid to ask is because it means we have to let go of something we really, really want. Why is it so important that we do let go? 

Key Verse: 1 Samuel 1:27-28 I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD.”
