What Am I Asking For?

Nothing comes to me without my asking for it.
What am I asking for? Being mindful in each moment is the way to weed out the wrong minded thoughts. God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him. The thoughts that I think I think are not real—they are nothing. But I need to be aware of what thoughts are running through the internal computer, so that I can give them to Holy Spirit for undoing.  What am I asking for right now? Is it peace, love or joy? Or is it punishment, misery and sacrifice?

I was led to these thoughts in the text. [Emphasis is mine.]

T-21.II.2. This is the only thing that you need do for vision, happiness, release from pain and the complete escape from sin, all to be given you. 2 Say only this, but mean it with no reservations, for here the power of salvation lies:
I am responsible for what I see. I choose the feelings I experience, and I decide upon the goal
I would achieve. And everything that seems to happen to me I ask for, and receive as I have asked.      
6 Deceive yourself no longer that you are helpless in the face of what is done to you. 7 Acknowledge but that you have been mistaken, and all effects of your mistakes will disappear.

T-5.VII.3.  4 Excluding yourself from the Atonement is the ego’s last-ditch defense of its own existence. 5 It reflects both the ego’s need to separate, and your willingness to side with its separateness. 6 This willingness means that you do not want to be healed.

T-9.I.6.  5 A message cannot be communicated unless it makes sense. 6 How sensible can your messages be, when you ask for what you do not want? 7 Yet as long as you are afraid of your will, that is precisely what you are asking for.  T-9.I.8.  8 When you ask the Universal Giver for what you do not want, you are asking for what cannot be given because it was never created. 9 It was never created, because it was never your will for you.                                                                                     

T-11.I.10.  You cannot be happy unless you do what you will truly, and you cannot change this because it is immutable. 2 It is immutable by God’s Will and yours, for otherwise His Will would not be extended. 3 You are afraid to know God’s Will, because you believe it is not yours. 4 This belief is your whole sickness and your whole fear. 5 Every symptom of sickness and fear arises here, because this is the belief that makes you want not to know. 6 Believing this you hide in darkness, denying that the light is in you. 

T-12.VII.7.  2 As you look in, you choose the guide for seeing. 3 And then you look out and behold his witnesses. 4 This is why you find what you seek. 5 What you want in yourself you will make manifest, and you will accept it from the world because you put it there by wanting it. 6 When you think you are projecting what you do not want, it is still because you do want it.
