Hello, i have a doubt about some of Jesus teachings.

On the Lord’s Prayer there are a quote where we pray: “Your kingdom come,
your will be done,” where Jesus teaches that the Will of God should come in first place.

But he also teaches: "“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” and he also teaches the Parabole of the Bad Judge where he teaches to persist on praying about our wishes.

So how we conciliate both teachings? We should not ask things we want or we shouldn’t ask anything any only pray that the will of God should come in first place? Thank you!
 
Maybe it is God’s will to answer our prayers.

In that case, God’s will cannot be done unless we make those prayers.

As you persist in prayer, God will alter your understanding until what you want is in line with what He wants.

Such things are not easy for us to understand in our humanity. As a mom, I know that my children need and want certain things, I still like when they ask for something specific. Sometimes they ask for things that are not appropriate or that would not be good for them and I try to help them understand why something else may be better for them. God is God and does this on a much more intricate level than I can ever know while here on earth. I trust (and pray) that God will help me to know what to pray for so I am able to have the good gifts that He intends for me to receive.
 
Forgive me for not finding the place it says it but in the New Testament, I believe by Jesus, He tells us that our prayers are not being answered because we ask wrongly.

Basically, if we look at the garden of gethsame we see the way to pray. Lord please take this away (or give to me) but your will be done. So even though this is what I want, I want your will in my life more.
