Dear Servant;
I remember when you were about 10 years old. You begged and begged me for a watch that would play a simple video game. You wanted it so badly, and as only a child can, you asked for it over and over again. You thought if you asked enough times I would give it to you. While that kind of praying is expected from a spiritual child, it is not becoming to one mature in the faith.
My son taught that if you need or want something you are to ask me boldly in his name. You are not to beg like a child. You are not to demand like some tantruming toddler or bargain and scheme in an attempt to manipulate me into giving you what you want. Rather you are to humbly approach me, as a loving Father and make your requests known. Like that watch, there are many things you ask for I will not give you, but coming into my presence and speaking to me honestly will change you, change what you ask for and strengthen our relationship. Come boldly and ask what you will.
Waiting for each request, I AM
