And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure.-James 4:3

Sometimes we get tired of asking the Lord the same thing, wanting to answer our own petitions. We think since we serve the Righteous King, we have the right to do whatever we want. A child should always ask their parent for permission for everything and anything. Big and small.

The devil and his demons, who we rebuke in the name of Jesus Christ, always asked the Lord for permission before acting. Before they took a single step to carry out their wicked schemes, they required God's mighty and divine permission. If the dwellers of darkness constantly ask for God's permission, we need to ask Him ten times more.

Before moving, grabbing something, giving your heart, attention, or time to someone or something ask what the Lord thinks of it.

And we are confident that He hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases Him.-1 John 5:14
