You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them.

You do not have, because you do not ask.
But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
“Abba, Father,” he cried out, “everything is possible for you. Please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.
I take joy in doing your will, my God, for your instructions are written on my heart.I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.

And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
I correct and discipline everyone I love. So be diligent and turn from your indifference.Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent.
For the Scriptures say, “If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies. Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it.”For “Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.”

Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
