Not everyone can accept my opinion that if you ask do not force because not necessarily our request is good for us in the future.
And when it is forced upon life by His command will "conspiracy" the evocation with the instant ways we do not necessarily like. When I say this I am suspected of God.
Instead my invitation is to be wary of every desire that is in us. Let us release our ego that our request is best for us. Does not God know what is best for us? Then why do we force desires?
Ask but realize that only GOD knows best. I was very, very obsessed with being a lecturer. And now I live a profession very similar to what the lecturers do, even in my opinion it is more in line with what I want.
