I can pray for better health, (Which is not a bad thing) but if I am going to use this good health for only my pleasure, my desires, then am I not asking with the wrong motives?
I can ask God to grow this church,(Which is not a bad thing) but if my desire is just to promote myself, then am I not asking with wrong motives?
