If I wonder why my life is going haywire, it's because I don't ask. If I don't have, it's because I don't ask. Or if I do ask God in faith and I still don't have, it's because I'm asking for the wrong reason. Seeking after “all these things” as the nations of the world seek after just puts us in a place where we ask God in faith, but for all the wrong reasons. And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. Luke 12:29–30 (NKJV) It's when we pursue “all these things” first and foremost that they turn from needs into lusts. It's when we use faith in God in order to get “all these things” that they become a sort of perverted priority. Instead of developing our relationship with Him and making Him the priority, we use our relationship with Him to pursue a different priority—our own selfish interests. But when we passionately pursue God above all else, we somehow lose much of our passion for “all these things” and, strangely, a transformation occurs: What was once our lustful, passionate pursuit of all the things everybody else seeks after, cools way down. And what we thought we just couldn't live without becomes merely something that God knows we need—and something that God will provide.

If you were to ask me how many windows are in our home, I could walk my way through the house in my imagination and give you a perfect count and placement. I could do the same for the number of doors. But I would have a difficult time giving you a description and a location for all the photographs and paintings, throughout the house. Oh, I know all about those special ones that I purposely look at each day, but the others just sort of blend into the furniture and the walls. I can tell you all about the windows and the doors in our home because I look out each of the windows and open each of the doors on a regular basis. But, other than what I make a point of noticing, the artwork and photographs just sit on the furniture or hang on the walls, unnoticed. That is the problem with our religious traditions. They are either sitting or hanging all around us to the extent that we don't even know why they are there or what purpose they serve. Take what is commonly referred to as the Lord's Prayer. What is it about anyway? Does repeating it cover all the bases—regarding what God expects from us in prayer? In other words, when we've said this prayer are we done for the day, as far as God's requirements are concerned? Can we then go ahead and ask God for what we really want?
1) A Worldwide Religion made popular by the Roman Catholic Organization and practiced by the average person who claims to be a Christian

Which one are YOU a part of???

Heading upstairs to go to bed, my youngest son, when he was probably about ten years old, made a bold declaration: “When I grow up I'm going to get me a wife that can cook, clean, and wash my clothes!” Imagine the fall‐out for any young man who, when meeting his future in‐laws for the first time, makes the following statement, “I want to marry your daughter so she can cook, clean, and wash my clothes.” The absurdity of a young man entering into a marriage just so that he can get what he wants from his wife is obvious. But we don't seem to consider the absurdity of wanting a relationship with God just so that we can get what we want from Him. Here in the U.S. we “sell” people on Jesus based in large part on what Jesus can do to fix their problems. It's a lot easier to get people to say the “Sinner's Prayer” when their problems are overwhelming them. And while it's true that Jesus does fix everything, if we don't go a little deeper with Jesus than just to change undesirable circumstances, we will end up in a relationship with Him where He is nothing more than a vending machine for our needs. That kind of relationship doesn't work with a spouse. And it won't work with God.
