You wouldn’t think of just asking God for it, would you? And why not? Because you know you’d be asking for what you have no right to. You’re spoiled children, each wanting your own way.

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.

Or when you ask, you do not receive because the reason you ask is wrong. You want things so you can use them for your own pleasures.

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend it in your pleasures.

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

You ask [God for something] and do not receive it, because you ask with wrong motives [out of selfishness or with an unrighteous agenda], so that [when you get what you want] you may spend it on your [hedonistic] desires.

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

And if you ask, you won’t receive it for you’re asking with corrupt motives, seeking only to fulfill your own selfish desires.

You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.
