Wisdom
 
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. James 1:5
 
 
The old saying fits here too.
Give a man a fish he eats for a day 
teach a man to fish he eats for life. 
So often if God just fixed it for us we would go right back again.
Because we might not remember how or why we got here.
So most often God wants to teach us how. 
Often if we asked for wisdom we would realize what we were 
asking for we don't really want, we would see God has 
something better.  If we pay attention we see God directing us. 
 
 
If we learn to fly we won't need pushed
Solomon is a great example:
Because he did not ask selfishly, he was given greatness!

And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king: Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.  2 Chronicles 1:11-12
