But that s because many so-called Christians are not sincere. Churches have nominal members, not committed to Christ. They are in it for the wrong reasons. I know very dedicated Christians, true believers through and through, who have known nothing but a succession of misfortunes. If they trusted the Lord and prayed faithfully every day, then their lives would be one long blessing.
Prayer is the key that opens all doors.
There are Christian people who do pray, daily and earnestly. But things go badly wrong for them. They get made redundant from work, or a beloved daughter gets pregnant at the age of fourteen, or old friends turn against them, or their spouse runs off with a family friend. Something was not right. Maybe they were more superstitious than true believers.
