James 4:3 "When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives..."
Godly wisdom produces a peaceable environment. Worldly wisdom is always self-seeking and therefore erupts in strife. It starts with desires in the heart of man. If your desires are surrendered to your Creator, who you trust, then He will bring every needed thing into your life. Then you don't have to vie with others for position and power.
God is the giver of all good things. All His children need
to do is ask. The world believes success is to fight and quarrel and come out
on top. It is the evolutionary mindset: The strong survive. The problem is that
there is always someone stronger than you. Though you may not realize it, God
is sovereign over all.
It is not that God does not want us to enjoy life, but that He knows what is truly good for us. His mercy keeps Him from giving us some of our requests. In time, we learn to ask for His will as He reveals it to us. That brings us into the truly blessed life
