I have heard people pray to ask God for money and riches. They laugh at me when I say that shouldn´t be done. I think that there are things that should net be asked of God. "Give us our daily bread" is what we can ask of him but not a mansion or a cruise. What do you think? Do you pray?

they are not effective even if they always pray without working too hard it is impossible to attain. only stupid pray for it. i believe through hard work one could be successful with lot of saving and investment.

Hi Marguicha, Yes i always pray and The Lord's Prayer is one of my daily prayers. I am specific with my wishes to Him but i always say this line after my request---THY WILL BE DONE. I know God knows what is best for me. So it's up to him whether my wishes will be granted. Of course i am doing my part and working hard for it to deserve it.

When my seven year old grandson was dying with cancer, that line "thy will be done" became the most important words I uttered. They helped a lot. Thanks for sharing.

Yes. I do pray. "Lord, thank you for this beautiful life enriched by my family and true friends made meaningful by their love. Please care and bless them always. Amen. Prayer is the most powerful tool against trials. The most effective medicine against sickness and the most valuable gift in people we care.

I think your prayer has the real meaning of prayer the way I see it. It is a thank you for what you have. God bless you!

Yes I do pray. I pray for good health, also for others who are going thru a bad time. I pray for my family and friends. I pray for people who are going thru an operation or who have lost someone. I pray for peace on earth and for our soldiers all over the world. I also pray to sell my house by next year so I can move to Puerto Rico to be with the man I love.

I really try my best to pray every night before I go to sleep. It is my way of thanking the Lord for the day's blessings and petition for good health and other things. It is also my way of conversing to God and to let him know that I can't do things all by myself. I need all the guidance that I could have.

Dear Marguicha, Hahaha, it did happens to me too. Many people will pray and ask for money and riches. It is so tempting to ask for this. However, the prayer model in the Bible is a very good guidance. I will normally pray and ask God for wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Ask God for forgiveness, mercy and grace. If need financial blessings, perhaps pray for God blessings in finance to help others too. Happy myLotting and God Bless you

Hello Marguicha. We pray for what ever we need. We work as hard as we can to make ends meet but when we run short we do ask God to help us get by till we can make the money we need to live. We only pray that Gods will be done in our lives each and every day. We aren't rich we do live on a fixed income and have times asked God to give us a way to earn some money. We don't pray that God will give us money. We ask God to show us a way we can earn money. I don't think that is a bad thing to ask God for. We do have sometimes odd jobs that we can do to earn the little extra money we need. We pray about everything everyday.Asking for Gods help I think is a good thing. Hope you have a great day.
