Ask and you shall receive. You have not because you ask not. There are many idioms about proclaiming what you want out of life. Though the gift of salvation is freely given, the burden was upon you to ask Jesus to come into your heart to receive that gift. Just the same as anything else you want from God. The blessings of His Kingdom are available to all who He knows as His children. You want your temptations, your attitude, or your circumstances to change? You still have to ask. And then be willing to be lead.
