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.
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
James 1:5, NASB
One of the things God enjoys granting to people is wisdom. True wisdom leads to God and His righteousness as revealed in Christ.
This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
1 John 5:14, NASB
God may give us things we ask for out of selfish desire, but as we draw closer to Him we will find our desires matching up ever more with His. Then God will always grant us our requests, because we want the same thing.
