"Ask and it will be given to you" vs. "Not my will, but yours be done."

So, please clarify something for me. I'm trying to get a better understanding of presenting my requests to God, but also recognizing that it is not my will, but His will be done. Here are three verses that I am trying to connect (I have italicized the most key parts): > Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; *yet not my will, > but yours be done*. (Luke 22:42 NIV) > > Do not be anxious about anything, but *in every situation, by prayer > and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God*. (Philippians 4:6) > > *Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the > door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one > who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened*. > (Matthew 7:7-8 NIV) So, whenever I pray, I will present my requests to God, and then I will finish it off with: "yet not my will, but Your will be done always and only." But the Scripture says to "ask and it will be given to you." But, are there times when it won't be given to me, because if God doesen't want something to work out, it won't be given to me. It all around just confuses me, and I have ignored it for a long time. But, I was thinking about all of this earlier today and decided to finally get some clarification. Please don't criticize my faith. That is definitely *not* why I came to this forum. I am a devout Christian and care about what God wants above anything else. I just need some clarification so I can advance with my prayers. =)
