Being broke and poor and not having a job and all, I decided to give this prayer thing a shot. I tried to think of the simplest easy prayer for God to answer. So I said "God, when those guys rob the bank, and are trying to elude the police, please let them throw the bank bag full of money out of the car directly in front of my path as I am walking down the street looking for lost change". Now, I think that is simple enough, and easy for Him to accomplish. I know He doesn't want the bad guys to have the money, so He should let me have it. But, it's been a couple of weeks now since I prayed this, and I am tired of running down the street every time I hear a siren. So, why doesn't Jesus show me the money?

God cannot condone sin my friend. In any form. He Is Holy. As for a job, if you ever find yourself in Jersey. I'll help you with that.

A) He wants you to prosper, and earning your prosperity is more likely to make it last than if it just dropped in your lap.
B) He doesn't like Cuba Gooding Jr, and therefore doesn't like your movie-quote prayers.
C) He sees you running down the street every time you hear a siren, and thinks you are guilty of something... and is trying to figure out what. But wait, isn't he all-knowing? Oh no! We've proven that The Infallible is fallible! The end of the universe! KABLAMMO!

Jesus says bring all you own into the Bishop's warehouse and give to the poor and I will pour out more blessings than you can hold. The reference to the Bishop is not to the Catholic church.I can guarantee that if you pay your tithings to the church, you will never want for anything.

See now the loving god of the OT would have given you the money, however, being the trickster that he was the money flying from the car would have killed you instantly.
But you probably just got no or wait as you response, so if money ever comes to you, your prayer is answered and if it never comes to you it was just gods will so your prayer while not answered was still answered. Are you as confused as I am yet?

It's all my fault; I prayed the same thing and Jesus picked me over you. If it makes you feel any better, when the bank robbers threw the bag out in my path, it hit me in the crotch.
I'm in pain, but my new-found wealth is a comfort. ;)

Also when you get your money you should be able to click your heals and say "there is no place like home"
You do have on your ruby red slippers right?

What are the stats showing about number of bank robberies in your area.
But remember: "Good things happen to those who can wait" Same wisdom from the same company who advertised its product as: "I don't drink water, fish **** in it" ;-)
