[QUOTE="Steven Bobb, post: 31152492, member: 736329"] A lot of Christians believe God answers every prayer, every time, no matter what, period. But that hasn't been my experience. While there indeed have been some "iffy" situations that I was concerned about that miraculously were taken care of, I've also had some situations that I would have loved to get out of, but after prayer, the prayers of others, etc, the situation is just as "on me" as ever.{And it's not for a sinful thing, it's about things like that would lower my stress levels}.But no. So this little philosophy some Christians have that God will automatically and instantly give you all your desires with a snap of the fingers,and if you believe otherwise it's "your fault", like a lack of faith, I wouldn't say that. That's more like new age thinking, the "name it and claim it"gospels.."If we demand it, God will give it".Even Jesus prayed,"Father if possible let this cup pass from me. BUT NOT MY WILL BUT YOURS BE DONE."So this belief that we just snap our fingers and God will just obey our commands like a genie in a bottle,I 'm living proof that doesn't always work.Despite what "name it and claim it" professes.
