His will?

For those who believe in scripture, we are told in 1John 5:14-15 that God will give us anything we ask for as long as it is in line with His will.

His will is about service not selfishness; I must always look at my motivation when trying to change something in me or in the case of step7, trying to get rid of something I do not want anymore. Is the real request valid in that God or someone other than me will be positively affected by the outcome? More than likely, at the root, if I will look that deep, I will find selfishness, because if this thing is granted, even though THE REQUEST may NOT BE for me personally, I will be positively affected, something will happen to me (happier, less worry, wealthier etc etc). God sees the truth and its root and that is where the real deal is done. So Scott, any so called defect that remains, may require some serious digging as to what the real benefits would/could be and who would receive the greatest of these if this problem were removed? IS MY REQUEST IN LINE WITH GOD'S WILL? And of course only God knows whether my lot in life is possible without this thing I do not want!
