If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
John 15:7, ESV
When are seeking God and His righteousness, we will want the things He wants and want to ask for the things that line up with His character and will, not selfish desires or unjust, evil requests.
One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple.
Psalm 27:4, ESV
To seek the face and presence of the Lord is to seek the truth of Christ.
To seek Christ is to change your life, your thinking, and your actions by the help of the Holy Spirit.
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
1 Corinthians 10:13, ESV
Temptations come. They are not the sin. Giving in is the sin.
Ask God for help, because He wants to help.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.

Turn to Him today, and receive God’s wisdom.
Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.
Jeremiah 33:3, ESV
Do not merely test God. He says to earnestly seek Him, and, when you call to Him in faith believing Jesus is His Son who died for you, He will answer in ways you do not know.
Walk with Him. Talk with Him.
And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19, ESV
This is not promising you will have all you ask for or think you need.
Remember, God’s primary aim is to glorify His name, and He will meet those needs that help us bring Him glory through sharing the Gospel.
(But he does like giving us good gifts, too!)
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21, ESV
We ask God without knowing what He has for us. We fail to understand grace, peace, forgiveness, and eternity. Yet we think we know what to ask for in this life.
Seek first the Kingdom, and you will be amazed at what He does.
