Is prayer a matter of asking for and getting anything you want? There are verses that would seem to support this. Has this been your experience? You have agency, but then so do I. if you make all the decisions in our relationship, then which one of us is really God? Have you ever prayed fervently for something, and received it, and in the course of time decided that it was less than ideal for you? Christians wrestle with the problem of unanswered prayer. Did the father in the story of the prodigal realize it was a bad idea to send off his younger son with a lot of money? But he did it anyhow. Perhaps you should ponder the problem of answered prayer.
