Ask in pray

Let’s think a moment. Is there something that we have now that we do not receive? If not why we behave as though it’s all because we are weary toil under the sun?
On the other hand, if you feel at this time does not have anything and realized that anything are given, why you do not ask for? One of the core of prayer is a request. But remember, what we frequently ask in pray showing us who we are.
