Whats your motive wen you ask?

What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your
desires that battle within you? You want something but don't get it.
You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and
fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you
do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend
what you get on your pleasures.

James 4:1-3 (New International Version)
