@Min which is right after stop being hypocrites and don't waste what's sacred on swine. you can pretty much pick and choose your wayto any belief you want, but a whole Bible approach is what I believe GC was getting to. Sure you should ask and fully expect to receive, but only if you're living you life as God intended and that would include the Christian virtue of humility. It wouldn't be in line with biblical teachings to go around praying for winning the lottery unless you take this verse by it's lonesome.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
