You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.

The letter of James

What Causes Wars

Topic: Overcoming Adversity

“What causes wars, and what causes fighting among you? Is it not your passions that are at war in your members? You desire and do not have; so you kill. And you covet and cannot obtain; so you fight and wage war. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.“
