Praying for prosperity to achieve financial security and ability to help others is appropriate; praying to amass personal riches for a luxurious lifestyle is not. When a greedy person becomes wealthy, it's not because God answered his or her prayers.
What does God say about praying for money?
1 Timothy 6:17-19 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
How do we receive prosperity from God?
