III. Filial Trust
2737
“You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your
passions.”26 If we ask with a divided heart, we are
“adulterers”;27 God cannot answer us, for he desires our
well-being, our life. “Or do you suppose that it is in vain that the
scripture says, ‘He yearns jealously over the spirit which he has made to dwell
in us?'”28 That our God is “jealous” for us is the sign
of how true his love is. If we enter into the desire of his Spirit, we shall be
heard.
