James 4:3

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

How do you ask God for what you need? Make sure you ask for the right reasons.

    What do these "right reasons" mean? I'm confused because the Bible also says "ask and you will receive"

    Don't ask God to let you win the powerball lottery. Ask for mercy, wisdom and the will to please Him.

    thank you. is asking for the grace of healing of a relationship and matrimony pleasing to God?

    Let God know that if it His will, then heal the relationship and/or marriage.

    Sometimes we like to think that God wanted us to enter into relationships but in reality it was "us" that wanted it, not God.
