I once heard a story of a man who had nothing. He knelt down everyday and asked God to give him something. Give him wisdom, give him friends, give him money, power, etc. He prayed so much for these things that God eventually gave it to him. For a while, the man lived like a god, he enjoyed the absolute best that life had to offer. It wasn't until his luck turned for the worst and series of events began to happen to him. Power told him that no one man should have to much of it, especially if they never spent time working for it. Money got funny and decided to up the cost of everything around him. And friends, what friends? Oh yea, the good life friends, decided that man was no longer good enough to be around, so they dismissed him as well. But then there is wisdom, the one that God was ecstatic about giving to this man. Wisdom made the man think, think so much that he practically went insane. Sitting in the confinement of his room, the man began to contemplate all of the changes that had taken place only to realize that he was alone. Alone in a room with nothing but temporary satisfactions and a terribly wasted mind. The man asked God why He had done such a thing to him. God responded by saying, "You should have concentrated on me and not the world because I am the world and without Me, you will continue to fail."
