    Sorry, when I was a little one (7-8 yrs old) in Sunday school

    the lesson about how to pray, the part about in a closet in

    secret and God will answer your pray in secrey. Will I went

    into the closet (can,t remerber what I prayed for) and I found

    a diamond ring (or I thought it was a diamond). Wow, this pray

    thing is great. Well the ring was one of my older brothers, he had

    purchased a ring for his soon to be wife.

    The point as a kid Iam sure I praying for some toy or something,

    inappropriate.

    Looking back when I was a JW, most of my prayers were selfish.

    Today people pray for all sorts of things and probably also in Jesus day.

    So what,s appropritate and what,s inappropriate.

    I think you should be able to say anything to God in prayer. He knows what you're thinking anyway. Moses asked God to kill him, when he was throwing a fit...

    The WT somewhere used to talk about inapropriate prayers and that it was wrong to say "Hello, Jehovah" or "Give Jesus my love!" or "Have a great day, Jehovah!"

    I think any prayers that include the words 'lottery numbers' is tacky.

    Yes I am sure there are many prayers, Lord if I hit

    the lottery I will give half to the church. Those that have

    hit the lottery, Lord I said 10%.

    I think your prayer in the closet as a kid was cute, especially finding the ring :)

    As to the topic, they're your prayers. No one's business other than you and the one you pray to.

    Peace,
