“Jacob cautioned that unfortunate things happen when we ask for things we should not. He foretold that the people in Jerusalem would seek “for things that they could not understand,” look “beyond the mark,” and completely overlook the Savior of the world. They stumbled because they asked for things they would not and could not understand.”

— Dale G. Renlund

Do not pray for thing that you should not ask for, and don’t pray for things you don’t understand. Doing so leads to problems. The leaders of the Jews looked beyond the mark and didn’t understand what they were asking. Because of this, they ended up having Christ killed. They completely overlooked the messiah.
