Would you pray this prayer if you had no paycheck at all? Jesus said in Luke 14:33, "So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple." Would you still pray this prayer if this condition was attached to it? Would you be satisfied with nothing (but Jesus alone)? This is really the essence of the question. As long as we hold onto even just a little, the flesh will succumb to Proverbs 27:20, "Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied," and Proverbs 30:15-16 (just following this prayer), "There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough: The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough."

Only when reckon ourselves dead to the flesh and sin will we be satisfied thoroughly in God alone.
