Many of us pray for earthly stuff like wealth and long life, joy and happiness, and nothing's really wrong with that, but we also need to pray for the spiritual aspects of our lives. That we will increase in spiritual knowledge and wisdom, become closer to God, and walk more purposefully in the Spirit, rather than in the flesh. Spiritual maturity, that's growing in Christlikeness ought to be our number one concern, which means sincerely walking in the power of the Holy Spirit and being worthy of God's goodness, or bearing good spiritual fruit for His kingdom. The things of the world are important, but not as important as living sincerely for God, and if we do that, He's promised that He will meet all of our earthly needs. Now it's left up to us to decide whether or not we believe God's promise, and how we're going to live this life. Wisdom dictates that we should believe God, for He always delivers on His promises! Much LOVE!
