How true, I found that most of my carnal prayers as a new believer asking God for cars, clothes, money etc were actually answered, but as I matured He started taking the comforts and luxuries away. Now my prayers are more God centred than me centred. It is interesting though that God at times answers these man centred prayers in new christians. I think maybe its to boost our faith and to teach us that He does answer prayer! And as you said its also to teach us that what was prayed for can even be harmful.
