Faithless or Just Self-Centered; The Call to Deeper Faith

Sometimes we ask and do not receive from God. Is it because we have no faith or because, as Saint James says, “You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.” (James 4.2) Jesus teaches certain challenges of life will only be defeated through prayer and fasting so that we can come to a deeper faith that everything doesn’t revolve around our desires but being in communion with God.
