As humans we want a lot of things.   We want new clothes, the biggest house, the nicest car, and many others.  Most importantly, we want our lives certain ways, and when it doesn't happen, we get upset.  We cry and yell out at God. 

Elder Holland once said, "don't rush righteous timing."  We want things to come fast, and we want them our way. 

But God has His way.  It's the right way, and the way we will be the most blessed. 

Relating to the scriptures, Lehi and his family were sent here and there and everywhere.  They were asked to do so much! Much of which, they didn't want to do during that time.  Though some murmured, Nephi and Lehi believed in God's plan.  Because of their selfless sacrifice and willingness to obey, they created a civilization that is still alive today.  Hundreds of years later, Moroni was able to leave the scriptures where they needed to be.  None of that would have happened if Nephi and Lehi didn't follow God's plan. 

We must trust in our trials and what is going on in our lives now, so we can be at the right place and at the right time when God needs us.

So maybe we don't want it, or we want something else.  God knows.  He plans.  And it will be just what we need.
