Why some requests from God are not accepted?

SHAFAQna – It is narrated from Imam Sadeq (AS) who said: There are four groups that their prayers (Dua) are not accepted: First, the one who sits at home and says: God, give me sustenance, he will be told: Did I not order you to work and search (for sustenance)? Second: the one who has a spouse and prays to be relieved from him/her, that person will be told: Did I not give you the right to divorce? Third: The one who has wealth and wastes it and says: God, give me sustenance, he will be told: Did I not order you to moderation and economy? And fourth: the one who lends without witness, he will be told: Did I not order you to take a witness when you lend [1].
