It is sad to think that you believe prayer is about gaining economic gifts from God. Yes, he will bless you if you have faith in Him and ask Him to bless you. But, if you ask for a 25% return on your IRA, I think that's a non starter.

But, what about The Prayer of Jabez? Isn't that what this latest, bestselling craze is about (the goodness in praying for prosperity)?

The Prayer of Jabez asks that he bless us indeed (a supernatural blessing so that we are anointed to bring healing in many ways to people, deliverance, supernatural provision which is not necessarily financial; to enlarge our territory (our ministry or mission); that God would have his hand on us (to help us accomplish our mission or ministry with His help); to keep us from harm and for us not to cause pain. It's not about financial prosperity at all. When God prospers us it CAN be financial but it's often spiritual prosperity. Have you read the book? It's excellent.
