Bible verses where people ask God for things and are expected to recieve them:

John 14:13-14
And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.

John 15:7
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

James 1:5
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

Zechariah 10:1
Ask the LORD for rain in the time of the latter rain. The LORD will make flashing clouds; He will give them showers of rain, Grass in the field for everyone. 

This is flawed. Let's say i pray everyday for something(lets just say that i have the flu and pray to get better). I don't get well until 2 weeks later and i instantly think that God must have healed me when it was your immune system and medication. When most pray, they pray for things that are obviously going to happen, and even when those prayers aren't "answered", people claim it wasn't God's will. It's a Catch 22.
