What crazy prayer will God not answer?

Sometimes we as people get so dense that we think we don't have anything to pray about. There are endless things to ask for God's help on, but the average faith in America looks at prayer like wishing. Wishing is hoping for something and knowing.. that you probably won't get what you're asking for. Just what prayer will God answer? It was election night in 2000. At the time I was living under a church in Kansas City, Missouri. The apartment was about the size of a garage. The voter returns were coming in and I was on my knees praying the whole time. The air was tense and it was only me and the television alone in a dark basement. "Lord don't let Al Gore win the election, If he wins he'll wreck the whole country." This was the extent of my prayer in short. Things at that minute were not looking good for Bush. I had been excited for that election like no other because I was sick of hearing about all the scandals and new allegations about Bill Clinton. I did not want anything around to remind me of it. My stomach was a huge knot. ABC broke for a commercial. " Please God, Don't let him win!!!" When the News came back on......" We have a late breaking development in the race in Florida, Bush has slid past Al Gore he is ahead by less than a hundred votes. I flew off my couch and was dancing with my hands in the air. "YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was laughing my head off and praising God for his power and might. I did not know at the time that George W. Bush would end up being called "the worst president ever." I grew to hate everything about the him in the past eight years. There is a big moral to this story. Be careful what you pray for. God is so powerful he might deliver the most ridiculous prayer of all. Be serious when you pray and think about the results of the prayer.
