Loading ...A man, named David, was feeling down because he was overdue on his bills and he was threatened to be evicted. So he went to a church and knelt down and said, “Please God, I know I don’t do this a lot, but I need your help. I need some money. Please, God, let me win the lottery. I trust in you.” Then David left the church, hopeful that he’d soon see results.
A week went by and he didn’t win the lottery, so he decided to try a different approach. David went to a Synagogue, knelt down, and said, “Okay, God, I know your busy and I haven’t been a very religious person, but I really need the money now. They’ve turned off my electricity and I need food. Please, God, let me win the lottery. I’ll be good. I’ll do charity work and everything.” So he left the Synagogue.
A week went by, and David didn’t win the lottery. He was disappointed so he went to a Mosque, knelt down and said, “God, I’m kind of disappointed. I didn’t win the lottery and I really need the money. They’ve kicked me out of my home and my mother needs surgery and I no longer have a job. I promise that if you let me win the lottery, I’ll attend service everyday, I’ll do charity work, I’ll give half my winnings to the poor, just please God, let me win the lottery.” David thought that this would do it, so with a satisfied grin he stood up and went outside.
Suddenly, the clouds opened up and a booming voice could be heard and it said, “David, buy a lottery ticket.”
