I question alot of things in life why I havent gotten a few things in my life thats I want. On the other hand I should be thankful for what I have. I am human we arent really ever truely happy.

I do to Fred. For me..I think some of that could be from the heresy prosperity doctrine that is prevalent in our country. I know I've heard way too much of that kind of preaching and it is not of God. It's a very self -centered doctrine. The Word in Timothy says."If ANYONE preaches that the gospel is a way to get gain have nothing to do with them."
Rather he says."Godliness with contentment is much gain."
On the other hand...your desires and cares are very real to God. my wife and I cast our cares to God everyday. I desire peace in my classroom , peace among co workers, And to be honest with you I've prayed to get a deer or a hog this year. I had one opportuity for both and both times I was unprepared, Then, I ask God to make me a better hunter. Well, last week I scouted out what I believe is a very good spot. I'll be in the tree in 3 1/2 hours LOL We will see. But in the past ,when I walk out of the woods bare handed my brother ..God has also reminded me of a verse from Habakuk.
Habakuk..3: 17
Even though the fig trees have no blossoms,
and there are no grapes on the vines;
even though the olive crop fails,
and the fields lie empty and barren;
even though the flocks die in the fields,
and the cattle barns are empty,
18
yet I will rejoice in the Lord!
I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!
PS Fred , I almost forgot. God did hear my venison request. On Christmas , Strut sent me a cooler full of venison through UPS. 60 pounds . The Lord reminded me of that. My prayer was answered.
