If we are not careful, we are very prone to become self-absorbed and think that our situation is the only thing on Gods radar. But the truth is, God has everyones needs in mind. My life is not simply about me and what I want and need and think and see. My life is also about what others need, and what others see and can contribute. I am not so important that God will sacrifice everything and everyone else just to answer my needs. God might actually ask me to suffer and sacrifice so that others may thrive. Our lives are intertwined with the lives of others. Wise words the prosperity gospel people need to take to heart.

I agree!
But suffering and sacrificing our wishes to the wishes of others are not usually everyone’s favorite choice.
But it happens.
God’s will, when he wills it, as he wills it.
