You do not deny your desires. You do not suppress them. You allow yourself to fully feel and experience that desire. If you truly want it, you ask God for it. You feel the desire as much as you can, you imagine its fulfillment, you ask the Infinite power behind everything for it. Yet there is more, which to best exemplify I should quote a biblical verse
...Prayer is asking the divine will to align with your will. Whatever manifests is the divine will. If it happens, the divine will aligned with your will...
The Tao that can be trodden is not the enduring and
unchanging Tao. The name that can be named is not the enduring and
unchanging name.
(Conceived of as) having no name, it is the Originator of heaven
and earth; (conceived of as) having a name, it is the Mother of all
things.....
(The Tao) produces (all things) and nourishes them; it produces
them and does not claim them as its own; it does all, and yet does not
boast of it; it presides over all, and yet does not control them.
This is what is called 'The mysterious Quality' (of the Tao)....
Who can (make) the muddy water (clear)? Let it be still, and it
will gradually become clear. Who can secure the condition of rest?
Let movement go on, and the condition of rest will gradually arise.
They who preserve this method of the Tao do not wish to be full (of
themselves). It is through their not being full of themselves that
they can afford to seem worn and not appear new and complete.

Why then would God create a corrupt Earth then give us free will and all the other human failings?, such as lust, would it be for us to experience the non-divine, would we only then be able to recognize the divine? Duality must exist in all things?
2 Peter 1:2 "Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust."

Hmm. Divine will shifts to align with personal will? Not the other way around? Really?
