Are blessings only temporary?

I notice something. I have a prayer, it gets fulfilled, then sooner or later puff!! the problem comes back again. Could be with avoiding scheduling conflicts, dealing with a troublesome person, busyness... you name the category. Now I thought once God solves the problem, it's gone for good, and you can "move on" from it. So why, after some time, does it "pop up" again, like a bad penny, to trouble you? Why would God give this kind of temporary blessing, a "patch up job", only to have the problem come back again? Doesn't God give COMPLETE{not short term} blessings? I don't understand, did God misunderstand and think I only wanted a temporary reprieve from my problem, or doesn't He have power to solve the problem PERMANENTLY? After being changed, then we will see things clearly, not through a glass darkly, but for now, I have this question, if any of you would like to try an answer? {Or have some of you had this problem, too?}

Blessings from God will never ever stop coming to your life or to anyones life when they love the Lord with all their heart, mind and soul. Problems in life may come back again and again because the devil want us all angry, unhappy and unfulfilled. It happened to a lot of people, even in the bible we read how Job, a man of prayer and of faith was tested with all kinds of evil coming to him. But he was faithful and true to God's word. Paul the apostle had lots of troubles and tribulations coming to his life. In prison, in chains, in a dark dungeon he was singing praises to God. An earthquake came along and he was delivered. So, when trouble comes, when people pick on you and things do not the way you wanted to go, start singing praises to Jesus, He will fix the problem, save the souls of those who come to torment you and Jesus will be exalted above all things.

I am yielding to Jesus every single day of my life. Walking in His presence is the best time we have here on earth. Blessings He sent on my way were not temporary, they will last forever. Jesus is preparing a home for us in glory.

If we did not have problems we would not know that God could solve the We would not know what faith in God can do.. I am quoting from a song which says 'Through it all', I believe our trials, testing and tribulations help us to draw closer to the Lord.. Many times when people have gone through some terrible life experiences they give up themselves to God
I know of a time when five fishermen drifted in the sea for nearly three weeks. in ordinary fishing boats. They ate the raw fish and drank the sea water until rescue came. Everyone had given up the search. They were found in another island. and the government took care of them. When they returned all of them gave their lives to Christ.. Sometimes it is because of a tragedy or an accident why people eventually gave up to God. When human get too contented we sometimes pre occupy ourselves with going after lust, worldly pleasures or the good times. There are some who do not remember those who are in need or suffering. Some even get proud. Suffering can help us to focus more on our maker. we can't even walk without him holding our hands. The God of the day is still God in the night. When we are down in the valley of trial and temptation that's when God is really put to the test according to one song writer.
