There’s no getting around it, we want what we want. Left unchecked, our desires can lead us to do awful things. But, God is gracious and calls us to humility!
In this passage, James rebuked his church for the sin of selfishness. He call them out for allowing their passions that war within them to cause conflict in the church. Rather than praying about things and submitting them to the Lord, they coveted, fought, even murdered! When they did pray, they prayed in order to squander it on themselves. Thankfully, God gives more grace when we humble ourselves and call sin what it is.
