I need a Mercedes Benz, maybe a flat screen TV and a night on the town every once in a while.

Is it really a question just to take an old Jans Joplin song and rephase it?

Dialing for dollars is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery each day until three,
So oh lord, won’t you buy me a color tv ?
Oh lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town ?
I’m counting on you, lord, please don’t let me down.
Prove that you love me and buy the next round,
Oh lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town ?

God is a spiritual entity...and you're praying for material goods!!! your prays will not find any answer...grow up! try to do something that for sure you didn't do until now...and i mean reading!! take a book,study religions' history,talk with high-elevated people and maybe you will manage to reach a higher IQ...and this is only a way for you to understand the meaning of praying...and that you pray for what you do wrong...not for what you expect

God answers all prayers-just sometimes the answer is NO or NOT RIGHT NOW. The answer you recieve depends on His will in your life and what is best for you. Maybe you should be asking God to lead you in the path chosen for you and follow where He leads.

Those aren't the sort of things that I believe God can grant. If you pray to God for the strength of will to keep at your job and resist temptation to spend money, God can be with you and help you find the strenght to do this. Sure enough, in a few years, you'll have enough money for these things.

evidently, you do not have a personal relationship
with God or you would know that God does not answer selfish "gimme" prayers, rather He answers prayers according to His Will.
sorry.....
no Mercedes.
no flat screen TV.
no night on the town.
but, if you really want it.....
He will save you from an eternity in Hell!
why do I get the feeling that you are
not interested in that?

I think the only way you will get these things is to stop praying for them and start working hard and prioritising what is important to you Also ask yourself and are you just buying these things to fill a void in your life.
God doesn`t answer prayers but it doesn`t mean he doesn`t listen to them!

God answers all prayers through knee-mail. Maybe you should try making a connection.

you're praying the wrong God.
Try praying Franklin and his prophet Grant. Collect their portraits, the official pocket-sized verstion autographed by secretary of the treasury.
Easiest way is to get them is to do something that people need done, and doing it well. Then the people will share some of their portraits with you.

Just remember that if you get a personal relationship with God, He has promised to fulfill all your NEEDS, if you have faith and follow his Word. Not necessarily all your DESIRES, but what you really need..
