This is one of those things I pray for that I feel kind of guilty about.  I don't want to seem like an ingrate because I already have many blessings.

I'm hoping to have a nice house to bring a wife home to, and the income to support a family. 

Find a wife that accept ur house as u hv not because u hv a nice big house.

Its good to pray for fortune n work hard to earn it  but God saith seek first the kingdom of God n it will be added to you.

Do not look at the people above us but look at those below us are many who are in worst condition.

PRAYER  OF  THE  RIGHTEOUS ???

1 JOHN 5:14   and this is the confidence that we have in  HIM  that if we ask anything according to  HIS  will  HE  heareth us  --5:15-- and if we know that he hear us whatsoever we ask we know that we have the petitions that we desired of  HIM

 

1 PETER 4:1  FORASMUCH  THEN  AS  CHRIST  HATH  SUFFERED  FOR  US  IN  THE  FLESH  ARM  YOURSELVES  LIKEWISE  WITH  THE  SAME  MIND  FOR  HE  THAT  HATH  SUFFERED  IN  THE  FLESH  HATH  CEASED  FROM  SIN  

--4:2-- THAT  HE  NO  LONGER  SHOULD  LIVE   THE  REST  OF  HIS  TIME  IN  THE  FLESH  TO  THE  LUSTS  OF  MEN  ---BUT  TO  THE  WILL  OF  GOD---  

PHILIPPIANS 1:29  FOR  UNTO  YOU  IT  IS  GIVEN  IN  THE  BEHALF  OF  CHRIST  NOT  ONLY  TO  BELIEVE  ON  HIM  BUT  ALSO  TO  SUFFER  FOR  HIS  SAKE 

 

LUKE 21:34  and take heed to yourselves lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness and cares of this life and so that day come upon you unawares  --21:35-- for as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth 

--21:36--  watch you therefore --AND  PRAY  ALWAYS  THAT  YOU  MAY  BE  ACCOUNTED  WORTHY-- to escape all these things that shall come to pass and to stand ---BEFORE  THE  SON  OF  MAN---

 

JAMES 4:3  YOU  ASK  AND  RECEIVE  NOT  BECAUSE  ASK  AMISS  THAT  YOU  MAY  CONSUME  IT  UPON  YOUR  LUSTS 

--4:4-- YOU  ADULTERERS  AND  ADULTERESSES  KNOW  YOU  NOT  THAT  THE  FRIENDSHIP  OF  THE  WORLD  IS  ENMITY  WITH  GOD  WHOSOEVER  THEREFORE  WILL  BE  A  FRIEND  OF  THE  WORLD  IS  THE  ENEMY  OF  GOD 

 

2 THESSALONIANS 1:11  WHEREFORE  ALSO  WE  PRAY  ALWAYS  FOR  YOU  THAT  OUR  GOD  WOULD  COUNT  YOU  WORTHY  OF  THIS  CALLING  AND  FULFILL  ALL  THE  GOOD  PLEASURE  OF  HIS  GOODNESS  AND  ---THE  WORK  OF  FAITH  WITH  POWER---

 

1 THESSALONIANS 5:17  PRAY  WITHOUT  CEASING   --5:18-- IN  EVERYTHING  GIVE  THANKS  FOR  THIS  --IS  THE  WILL  OF  GOD-- IN  CHRIST  JESUS  CONCERNING  YOU

 

LOVING  THE  LORD  JESUS  CHRIST

Thank you everyone.  I completely forgot that I asked this before:

 

 

 

LOL.  God answers our prayers according to His will.

When Christ was asked by the disciples how they should pray, the main gist was that God will supply our daily needs.

The most importand part of the prayer is that God's Will Be Done. It's about him, not us.
