God does not bring comfort when challenge is what we need. God’s Word is designed to bring about spiritual growth, not economic prosperity.”

Amen! In my book “BARRIERS (So, if prayers are so powerful how come mine don’t get answered?)” one of the themes of the whole book is that prayer is not some cosmic vending machine to help us get “stuff” from God. Prayer strengthens our relationship with Him, strengthens US, and makes us more like Him. (People love to quote Romans 8:28, but if you read on, the next verse defines what is meant by “good.”

This is an important point to make and to be understood. It matters how we define “faith”. Faith is trusting God in every circumstance. It is not a way to get what we want. Thank you for adding to the post. Blessings, Annie!
