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

Guided Prayer: God, thank you for letting us know that our heart posture matters. You care enough about our mindset to show us when we’re being self-serving in our prayers and requests. Show us places in our lives where our motivations are not aligned with you and your purpose. Help us see this clearly and actively take steps to shift the focus off of us and onto you. 

Independent Prayer: Spend the next minute asking God to search your motivations.
