Would God ever answer your prayer in a way that would be hurtful to you? You say, "What a foolish question, certainly not." But listen! Be careful what you push God to do! He may very well give you what you want even though it is not what He wants.
The people castigated and villified Moses demanding food different from the manna God provided. (Numbers 11) God answered their request saying, "you will eat it.... until it runs out of your nostrils and you loathe it." Modern paraphrase: "I'll stuff it down your throat until you choke on it." So much for a limp wristed God!
The people rejected the prophet/judge Samuel and demanded a King. God answered their request and by their third king the nation was divided and being destroyed. (1 Samuel 8:6-8)
Be careful what you "push" for. You may rue the day you got it!
