Scripture
James 4:3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

Observation
What are our motives for asking God for more? We may be blaming God for not giving, when really we may be blessed, if in fact our motives were more about His kingdom and not ours.

Application
I need to keep the "Kingdom of God" values at the forefront of my thoughts while asking God for help. God is looking to bless us as we bless others. The more I think of others the less I think about my WANTS.

Prayer
Lord, keep my motives pure. Let me know when they or not in your will. Show me your kingdom more each day. May I let the needs of others come before my own desires. Amen
