Psalm 37:4-5 "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of you heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this."
But what happens if we keep asking God for the wrong thing. God will most definitely protect you, but when you continually ask Him for something that you know is outside of is will, watch out, He's going to give it to you.
Be careful what you ask for. It's just like what happened to the Israelites in 1 Samuel. They kept asking God and demanding that He give them a King, even though He was there King;1 Samuel 12:12 "But when you saw that Nahash king of the Ammonites was moving against you, you said to me. 'No, we want a king to rule over us'-even though the Lord your God was your king.". God spoke through Samuel and warned them of what was to come but they ignored it and kept asking and eventually got what they asked for, then found out that it wasn't at all what that they had hoped for.
In 1 Samuel 8:18, God speaks through Samuel and tells them what the King that the Israelites are asking for is going to do. In verse in 19 they don't take heed of the words that Samuel tells them and continue to ask for a King; they end up getting Saul.
So in closing, ask for the things of God, the things in His will. Don't ask Him for anything that you know is not what He truly desires for you to have. When praying, ask God that above all things, despite of what you want, that His will be done. God will protect you, but you have to use discretion and discernment as well. Find out what the will of God is for your life and walk in it.
God Bless!
