“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us.” C. S. Lewis

We have all heard children trying to take selfish advantage of the love their parents have for them. We too do this with our heavenly Father. Sometimes when we pray we look to His promise to give us what we ask for, but tend to forget that He has placed the unique condition that His words guide our prayer. As we grow in wisdom, and in our relationship to His Spirit within, the promise that God will give us what we ask for is channeled in the right direction and away from silly requests.
