Praying For the Wrong Things

Ezekiel 14:14 though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, says the Lord. (Emphasis mine)

Matthew 7:9-10 Or who is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent?

Mark 10:38 But Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you are asking . . .

James 4:3 You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures.
