This is a Joke a dear friend emailed me which may be of some use to you!
A blonde finds herself in dire trouble. Her business has gone bust and
she's in serious financial straits.
She's so desperate that she decides to ask God for help. She begins to
pray...
"God, please help me. I've lost my business and if I don't get some
money, I'm going to lose my house as well. Please let me win the
lotto."
That night the blonde dreams she wins the lotto.
Lotto night comes, and somebody else wins it.
The next day she prays... "God, please let me win the lotto! I've lost
my business my house and I'm going to lose my car as well."
Lotto night comes and she still has no luck.
Once again, she prays... "My God, why have you forsaken me? I've lost
my business, my house, and my car. My children are starving. I don't
often ask you for help, and I have always been a good servant to you.
PLEASE just let me win the lotto this one time so I can get my life
back in order."
Suddenly there is a blinding flash of light as the heavens open and
the blonde is confronted by the voice of God Himself...
> (I love this!!)
> "Sweetheart, work with Me on this........... Buy a ticket."
Blessed Be!

It is because God does love you that he does not help you to go your way to all sorts of injurious things that a love of money may bring you, more so than the momentary excitement of winning the lottery the other things that come with it all may not be as good as you imagine (1Timothy6:10)10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. So you may not have thought it through very carefuly to realize that it could very well be the opposite to what you are thinking and it is because God' loves you that he does not help you to go the path that will harm you the most!

Everybody wants to win the lottery. Money fades and offers only temporary riches. Look at all the famous, rich people that found that money isn't everything. Elvis, Jim Morrison, David Jany, Marylin Monroe, and many more. What God offers through Jesus sacrifice on the cross will last forever. Heaven...

So, you, and a billion other players all ask to win the lottery...Kinda all cancels out, dunnit?
Prayer and Spells all resemble each other.

The thing is He loves all the lottery holders equally. So as an impartial being, he allows random chance to pick the winner.

Winning the lottery is more like a problem to be solved in social-greedy-human terms since god's help refers only to spiritual problems, You having problems with money means that your problems has to be measured in society terms, not god's. And I don't believe in god.

No. Sorry but it doesn't work like that. God doesn't just give you things. He has given you the tools to do it yourself through hard work and faith. Things like the lottery are a blessing and shouldn't be expected.

Because God is more concerned with your soul than with padding your pockets. And, we would be wise to likewise focus our attention on the eternal rather than the temporal.
Money doesn't guarantee happiness. Just look at all the celebrities and famous musicians who are in and out of rehab and whose lives are a wreck.

Well seeing the track records of l ottery winnersafter they win(suicides,poverty,identity theft,new moochers etc...,) I think he does love u thats why he dosent allow u to have the same fate as those people.I think money does more harm than good because it creates problems people never dreamed of having before they became financial targets.
