When we try to bargin with Jesus it show that we think we have something to offer God that he needs. Mathew 19 shows a rich youn man offering obience in exchange for Heaven and falls short because he will not give up his money. We learn from this that we are sinners that need Jesus and can't do it on our own merit. Its by grace through faith alone. So we need to stop holding on to things that become equal to or greater than Jesus. Jesus gives us hope when he says "with man this is impossible but with God all things are possible" in Matt 19:26. Our prayer is that we would now that only God is good, we can't earn salvation and nothing should be equal to or grater than Jesus in our lives.
