Sometimes weird coincidences happen. Sometimes when they happen, I get what I wanted, and sometimes I get what I didn't want, but actually needed. Sometimes I get what I specifically didn't want or need. Chaos abounds.
If I were prone to superstition, I could say that benevolent supernatural forces are working on my behalf. Sometimes they give me what I wanted, but sometimes they know better, so they give me what I really needed instead of what I wanted. Sometimes their ways are mysterious beyond my understanding, so it looks like I'm getting jacked. But I know it's really part of their Grand Purpose.
There are no factual differences between these two scenarios; it's just a matter of perspective. If you want to believe that supernatural entities are behind random coincidence, I'm happy for you. I'm merely pointing out that random stuff happens, whether or not you pray. The universe is funny like that.

You work for some thing you truly want, you'll generally get it. I think expecting god to worry about what somebody wants is even more ridiculous than believing in god in the first place. There are millions of mothers,in third world countries, praying to god in vane to help them keep their starving children from dying. And people in the richest country in the world, where the poorest people are better off than 80% of the worlds population, think god helps them find their car keys.

Yes many times! But I do not believe in coincidence. I do believe in God's Will being done here on earth. What I have I was meant to have. It is up to me with my free will as to how I use it. To further his Kingdom here on earth or not. My choice! I pray I choose wisely and align my will to his. There are other times I receive things knowing they were not meant for me but for one who is coming with a need.

I never pray for anything (I never pray at all, it just seems like a really weird concept to me). Have gotten some things in unusual circumstances, too.

Yes! (to your question)
Yes! (to your explanation to the question)
A person's perspective or hindsight or ability to reason, all affects how they perceive the random acts that happen everyday in their lives. (are they random acts or is it a universal choreography?). It's difficult to decide sometimes.

Yes I never pray and normally recieve things through unlikely cirumstances, It's called WORKING TO GET THOSE UNLIKELY THINGS INSTEAD OF HOPING AND PRAYING THAT SOME MYTH WILL GRANT YOU YOUR WISH!!!!!!

I have never ever prayed for anything at all. Everything I've got I got it through work, or thanks to other people's kindness.

The universe is not only stranger than you think, but stranger than you can think (or can believe).
