1. Our Desires are the root of Conflict
What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you?
Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? 2 You desire and do not have, so you murder.
You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel.
You do not have, because you do not ask.
3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.
Why do things go wrong?
We want what we can’t have
Every time something goes wrong in the Bible’s Narrative (Adam/Eve, Abraham Sarai, Judas Iscariot) - all because they schemed and cheated to pursue their desires rather than trusting God
What makes good villains in our current stories - Skewed Desires, not malicious intent.
Our desires for what might even be good lead to us doing bad things to get there.
Sometimes the reason for unanswered prayer - we only want it for ourselves, and it will destroy us ultimately.
