What About Prayer

James 4:2 ....ye have not, because ye ask not.

In my last post we shared that the origin of fights is our own desires. Sometimes we even claim necessity, " I had to do that, or else... would have happened!"

What about Prayer?

1. You do not have because you do not ask.  Prayer reveals our consistent reliance on God.  It shows we yearn for God's grace in our lives. v 2
2. You should not expect God's answer to prayer when your motives are evil. v 3  We are warned against asking wrongly or wickedly with wrong motives.  In other words asking to spend on our pleasure THAN for God's will.

Conclusion
Our fights reveal that we have a wrong relationship with God which is manifest in our prayer lives.  Either we do not pray because we do not trust in God's grace or we pray with the wrong motives.
