Jokebook: Lottery Prayer

One night, this blonde guy gets down on his knees by his bed and says "Oh Lord, we really need some money. Please let me win the lottery." And he goes to bed.

The next morning, the blonde guy wakes up and checks the news. He didn't win. So that night, he gets down on his knees again and says, "Dear Lord, we really need that money. My kids need new shoes, my wife has nothing to cook for us to eat, I can't find a job. Please let me win the lottery." And he goes to bed.

The next morning, the blonde guy again checks the news and discovers he didn't win again. So that night, he gets down on his knees and prays, "Oh, Lord, I don't mean to complain, but I don't understand. You know we need this money, and I've prayed several times. I've been a good person. Why won't you help me win the lottery?"

Suddenly a light shines down on him and a deep voice says, "God helps those who help themselves."
