Is it wrong to... posted in Advice on 12/17/12 @ 11:04 AM by Jonathan

To Pray to God for wealth? Not welth for me but to help all who have helped me. Friends, Family, My Church Etc, even charities. I've always wanted to win big in the Lotto to give a HUGE amount to my Church an to help my Mother an Father get better places to live, put my little sister in any school she can dream of.

That an I have a school tuition to pay off that I can not really afford to do so right now.

Just looking for some input an opinions.

PS: Iam not a selfish or conceded person, I just want nothing more in life then to help everyone.

It's wonderful to be able to give lots to the Lord, but just because you aren't able to give lots doesn't mean you are any less a Christian or something. God honours you when you give from a pure heart to please Him, and He will bless your faithfulness. It may not always be in the way that you think it would happen, but remember, "every good and perfect gift is from above". :)

This should help: The Prayer of Jabez.
"Oh, that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory,that Your hand would be with me, and that you would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!" 1 Chronicles 4:10
This doesn't sound selfish to me. He prayed for God to increase his wealth and that his hand would be with him...

jc@JCalways: Thanks for that Prayer. I deff love/need everybodys insight.
