Like rats and termites?
If so, then why not just give us what He thinks we need and not urge us to pray anymore?
Stupid questions, I know, but sometimes, when you get so frustrated (and I mean SO FRUSTRATED) you get to the point where you ask these things seriously and find yourself sounding like an idiot.
Look what big Job said:
As a slave who pants for the shade, and as a hired man who eagerly waits for his wages, so am I allotted months of vanity, and nights of trouble are appointed me. [Job 7.3]
So frustrated. He was not given what he knew he needed. "Slave who pants for the shade." I mean, what could be so complicated about that? Is that too much to ask? Why deny the poor slave of a simple shade?
"Hired man who eagerly waits for his wages." Isn't that just right and proper? I mean, the laborer deserves his wages and do not muzzle an ox while it is treading the grain. It's really sad when even simple needs like these are denied you.
However, what faith requires is to just keep doing things that God says in the bible we should do even if nothing happens, or if they don't seem to work, or the exact opposite happens.
It's a blessing that God put in us the mechanism of laughter and the creativeness to see funny even in troubles. Do you have that talent? See funny in troubles and problems so that, for no apparent reason, people see you laugh like a fool at times?
I thank God for that. It makes things a bit lighter and tolerable.
