You do not have because you do not ask God. 3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

James 3:16, For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.

Proverbs 10:28, The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing.
