Law: can we pray about them?

Meditation:
When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
—James 4:3 (NIV)

Quotation:
Perhaps there cannot be a better way of judging of what manner of spirit we are of, than to see whether the actions of our life are such as we may safely commend them to God in our prayers.
... William Law (1686-1761), Christian Perfection [1726], London: W. Baynes, 1807, p. 78 (see the book)
See also Jas. 4:3; Job 35:12-13; Ps. 66:18; Prov. 15:8; Zech. 7:12,13; Jas. 1:6-7

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, show me those parts of my life and thoughts that belong not to You.
