if all you want from God is a Ferrari then you are a miserable sod! Ever hear of praying for the health, happiness and well-being of your family, friends, and those that suffer around us and around the world?

Maybe you're just a miserable person and He doesn't like you. :P
Just Kidding ;) Last time I checked God doesn't give our Ferraris. You have to work... get lucky and get a good job... and make loads of money.
By the way.. earning God's favor isn't the way to get one. I don't think it has anything to do with that, because then the wealthiest people in the world would be the best people in the world, and we know that's not true.

What makes you think you deserve a Ferrari for free? And guess what: if you really, really want it, you have to pray to God to get it. Would you give a punk even a dime without being asked nicely?

Probably because he knows you'll drive faster than the speed limit (a sin in itself), and flash it around in front of others in a sad attempt at looking superior (also a sin.)
God probably WOULD give you a Ferrari if:
a. It would advance His kingdom, and
b. You could be trusted with it.

If God gave you a Ferrari you would only kill yourself. So, see ? God is looking out for you.

You are praying to god.
But without Jesus, you don't have a prayer.
Maybe he dosn't have a Ferrari picked out for you.
Pray according to His will and maybe you'll see great things happen.
(Sometimes, the answer to our prayers is "No.")

Cannot give you a Ferrari, or anything else for that matter, simply because there is scarcity

Have you been tithing properly?
He's not going to just give you a Ferrari . you must do things to earn God's favor.
Oh and by the way .. Please know that God is always to be captialized. Thank you.

Because He does things His way, not the way you want them done. Sounds crappy, even to me as a christian, but His way I have found ALWAYS works out the best, and I'm always happier. I've done things my own way before, not wanting whatever He had for me, and it ended sh***y.

Dear, As a Muslim we believe that the God gives more whoever he pleased and give less however be pleased. He may have every reason to justify for his will. Don't worry he nows what actually youd need or what actually good for you rather than you to do. Simply because he is our creator. O.K.
