are Christians allowed to make wishes?

[krazyabouthim]

Praying and wishing are not the same and wishing will get nothing. But praying gets one much.

Know this about prayer, it is a three step process. God likes the number three.
1. We pray or ask God for help/something. In Jesus' name.
2. God prepares us to handle this so once we get it we will not fail with it. So God teaches us how to handle what we ask for. God is good, so he prepares us and then gives it. How great is that?
3. God gives us what we asked for.
Many ask and while #2 is happening they give up. So they do not get to #3.
So try praying again, now that you know how it works. And the more you ask for, the longer it usually takes to prepare you for it.

Only God can reveal the meaning of his word, the bible. So if we want to know the truth we must ask God to show us meanings and give us understanding or we just guess. Before we start reading the bible ask God for knowledge and understanding, then we can know and understand it as God gives it to us. The bible is Martian to us, so read it this way. God has to help us understand or we can not understand much of it.
If I wanted to know something written is Martian, I would go to someone that speaks Martian and ask them what it means so that I may understand what it says. Or I could look at it, not understanding, then say it means this or that: not knowing Martian, I could try to make it mean whatever i wanted, though this would not be the right interpretation.
Many do this with the bible, it is God's word and only God can tell us the meaning of things and give us understanding too. Or we just guess or make something up. So go to God and ask him directly for the truth of his word. And God can do this through any bible, not just some but all.
hope this helps and take care.

Doing these things will blow the roof off of your situation, you will not longer be confined in it.
Pray, wait and receive the best from God. Pray, read and learn from God. Notice how everything starts with prayer and ends with God.
bless you.
