Summary: When we ask God to give us wisdom or clarity, what we're often really saying is that we want Him to give us a "yes" to our request. But sometimes, the answer is "no" -- and that's a good thing. When we fail to seek His direction, or when we seek it and then do our own thing anyway, we often find ourselves facing a world of hurt and trouble that could have otherwise been avoided.
