I prayed to God that a rolled dice would come up 6, but it didn't, what did I do wrong?

Did I not pray hard enough? Maybe I didn't have enough faith?

    First the bile teaches that we should Never make any images of the Lord Hod and Jesus is God. Next, God teaches that gambling is wrong, so if you are not a christian, you, may gamble all you want, but if you call yourself a christian,.you should stop. People find it so very comfortable to play and mess around with God, because they feel God will not do anything. God has his day at the end of this world. Which by the bible is coming very soon and is right around the corner.

    When you roll a die and pray for a 6, God answers every time. 5 times out of 6 he will answer "no", and 1 time out of 6, "yes".

    This is the way it works with everything else you pray for too.

    IT is not a matter of what you did or did not do wrong. It is that you obviously don't understand what prayer is, why one prays, and what one should expect to be the result of prayer. It never ceases to amaze me how atheists seem to adopt the nonsensical doctrines of the very people they are most critical of. Let me give you a clue. Atheists are pretty much correct when they say the "Claim it Name it", "God wants you to be rich" television preachers are indeed charlatans. So why do you expect following their example or applying their nonsense doctrines would work?

    We are also told in the Bible that what we pray for, for it to be answered, we have to not be selfish, not wanting to hurt others... for the prayer to be answered!

    Also When a prayer maybe answered, you are not looking at. God's choice of when to answer, may not agree with the one making the prayer.....

    God is also known for answering prayers, but in a different way that the one making the prayer thought it would be.

    If you check whichever holy book you use you will find that gambling is a sin so expect to be on the way to somewhere warmer any time soon.*

    *In terms of world history 'any time soon' is within the next 1000 years'

    What you did wrong was put God to the test, which the Old Testament teaches us not to do, and which Jesus rebuked corruption for trying to tempt Him to do.
