Praying for personal gain Christanon 11/07/17 (Tue) 07:59:25 d238f2 No.551478
Is it sin to pray for personal gain? Like praying to become stronger or smarter?

Pray rather to become more humble and to become more obedient to God's will. If it's for your own sanctification then its not a bad thing to pray for it.

Ask God for something only if its to glorify His name. Anything else is egotism.

By this logic, no miracle would never happen, ever. You are basically saying that Jesus Christ would never do what Jesus Christ did.
Wake me up.

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. Matthew 6:7-8

Much rather dedicate your studies and training to Him as sacrifice.

It depends. If your end goal is doing God's will then there's nothing wrong with it, the better you are the better you can do it. If it's just some personal egoist goal that has nothing to do with what God wants then it's sin.
