A wish is a desire for something vouchsafed to a Higher Power in the secret chamber of a person's heart. A wistful person has hope of fulfillment by that Divine Providence. Is God the end-product of years of wishful longing, going back to prehistoric times? Did humans make gods and the supreme God in their hearts and minds because of their needs, which needs we weren't able to satisfy on our own? Yes, of course and this is how God made us. [However, God, in the Bible, commands no idols for his people; Ex 20:1ff.]
