Jesus said, "What things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you will receive them, and you shall have them."(Mark 11:24) This doesn't mean that if you want a million dollars that all you have to do is pray to God and "Poof" it is there. By asking in this way you are using your covetous heart for earthly things that do not delight or honor our Lord. "You ask, and not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may consume it upon your lusts."(James 4:3) Your prayer needs should be what you need to serve your King and Savior and not yourself. Trust in the Lord that he will give you everything you need in this earthly life and pray for opportunities and blessings from Jesus to further His will.
How do you trust in the Lord? Start by repenting from your sins, obey His laws, and start living a lifestyle that consists of daily prayer, scripture reading, and getting to know on a more intimate level your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Jesus said, "If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done to you."(John 15:7) If your desires are in line with that of God, then your prayers will be answered and your treasures will be more than you could ever dream of. Start right now and accept Jesus as your savior. "Delight yourself also in the Lord: and he shall give you the desires of your heart."(Psalms 37:4)
