Maybe some desire to be tested; others are happy the way they are. You keep telling me how secure you are in your belief. Do you need to go through a Job-like trial to feel "better" about it?
And, besides, since when does God do things on our agenda if everything is subject to fulfillment of His "plan?"

It’s not “our agenda” but according to His plan to perfect us. His plan was for Jesus to learn obedience by the things He suffered. Innocence becomes virtue by testing.

Well, I don't pray a lot for terrible things to happen to me, if that's what you mean. :) And as for what I need, I have turned ALL of that over to God alone. I am not mine to make those decisions. I am God's for Him to make them.
