Using God

"They tried to get their own way with God,
clamored for favors, for special attention.".  Isaiah 25            Using God as a means to an end, is a deadly trap leading to resentment and anger toward Him since He didn't do what we who are eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil think He should have done. The answer to this is sacrificial love that has no agenda is willing for whatever the Master wants. Eating from the tree of life.  Cain whose name means acquire was offering a sacrifice but John tells us his deeds were evil.  His main concern was for himself as demonstrated in how he responded to God's punishment.  We just have to be SUPER aware of our own heart and our own motivation.  Oh God cleanse and keep cleansing our hearts of false motives.
