+42 @chefmorg It seems wrong to me to pray to God to win the lottery. When I do pray, I pray that his will be done. If it is his will that I win the lottery, then who am I to argue.

+18 @blckvlvt90 I pray to God every morning, constantly give thanks/praise for what I have and live with contentment. God’s not a genie and when it’s the right time the blessing will come

+17 @PraesidiumSafety Here’s the thing, and I’m using Christianity here, I think a lot of people pray the wrong way. In the Gospel of St. Mark 11:24 Jesus says “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours”. I think that when we pray about things we “need” we’re doing it wrong. The idea is to have faith that it is already done and we will experience it in God’s timing. However that looks.

+12 @reddity-mcredditface Praying to any gods would have absolutely no effect on your odds of winning. In fact, you'd ultimately end up with *less* money if you joined one of these cults. That would be financially irresponsible.
