Because it's sort of like the problems in Aladdin with the Genie who grants wishes. You might get everything you want but it can be so disruptive to your life that it just gets too scary to keep doing this.
So, I vowed to myself to not ask God for anything big unless it was some kind of an emergency.
So, the last really big thing I asked God for was likely my present wife. She and I both prayed for someone like each other for about the previous two weeks before we showed up in each other's life.
God was very wise indeed putting us together because we are so balanced as a couple in our abilities and so complementary in our skills in life that we are able to help almost everyone we meet in ways that honor God and all his creation on earth and beyond.
Why did I stop asking God for big things all the time?
Because of the disruptions to my life got so extreme when I got what I wanted that I learned not to do this because it just wasn't practical in my life to keep doing this.
If you are so overwhelmed by what God gives you that you die or are confused by what you are given then what's the point of still being alive here on earth?
By God's Grace
