Acceptance

Only in acceptance of your current situation is when you'll notice opportunities for improvement. Sight is used two different aways. Sight through Ego's eyes will show you physical things are what matter because that is what Ego uses to measure your value, your worth. This explains your association with wanting and needing. 

Sight through the Holy Spirit's eyes will uncover the blind folds Ego confused you with. Your vision  (of God) will become crystal clear because you can now see what is real and what's not. You'll see (by accepting your current situation for what it is) that 1. It is temporary - nothing on earth lasts for ever. And 2. Because it's temporary you ought not stay there. 

Now that you can see things (your life situation) clearly for what they are, you'll remember because they’re a learning device, you were wrong in thinking God forgot about you. They are there to teach you only one thing, to hand it over to God - He's in control here. And trust me, you're better off with it that way. When you forget Who's in control, you will experience shame, anger, guilt, etc., because you've given control over to Ego. You mustn't lose sight of Who God is and what He represents in your life.    

By accepting what is, you put it down by realizing you were holding on to nothing.  Now that your arms are free, open them wide to receive His blessings! Peace.
