Pray for anything you want. Just remember the answer is sometimes, "No."

No, I don't be live it is bad to pray for wealth, well lottery, we shouldn't pray that is the same as gambling. And we Christian are not supposed to gamble. God has given us ability so we can become wealthy. All riches of Gold and silver belong to our God. But honestly, if I going to be a rich person and forget the poor, I preferred to continue been just a simple person. I am not poor because I have something to eat everyday, and I have Jesus in me that is the biggest richness we can have.
Money is not the answer to all our question, many people money makes them worse.
I love you very much and may the Lord light your way!

Its not wrong to pray for riches remember the Bible tell us that God will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory, also remember God searches the heart.
But to use Lottery its a sin. I will advise you pray to God through Jesus Christ for riches.

I do not think so, for the Proverb 30 says something like, do not make me too poor, for I may rob and ruin your name, do not make me too rich, for when I am full, I will forget you.
Riches, if it is the will of God, fair and good. Personally, I think if God will grant me riches, I may ruin his name.
Thus I rather be where I am, just enough for my family, and also enough to bless others who's less fortunate than me.
I count it blessing to share my little with them, and see the joy on their face.
I wonder if I will still do the same when I am rich. I may not.

The bible says that money answers all things but be careful that it does not consume you, for the love of money is the root of all kind of evils. It is better to seek a closer relationship with God than riches. The Word of God says "seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you." I believe that if you seek God and seek to do His will, He will give you ALL that you need.

No. God wants you to have a blessed life. Unfortunately God is in charge of the timetable it happens on. When God knows you are ready and at the right time and place in life your blessings will be forthcoming. Just do your best to live as God wishes and I hope all your prayers will be answered.

Examine your motives. It's probably better to pray for your will for your life to be aligned with God's will for your life.
