We read in the Bible that God cares about us and that we should cast all our cares upon Him (1st Peter 5:7). Yet, how often do we pray and nothing seems to happens. I believe much of the discouragement and seemingly unanswered prayers are the result of living in the United States. Yes, that's right! We have a freedom handed to us on a silver platter. We have steak and plenty of food. We have many things we DON'T really need (that we think we need). We really don't need a phone. We really don't need a radio or a TV. We really don't need a computer. We really don't need a car. We really don't need electricity. We really don't need all these things.

Before you think I'm way off base, picture yourself living back in Bible days. Did they have any of the things that you THINK you need? No, they had virtually nothing except the clothes on their back, water and enough food to survive (sometimes not even that). Owning anything more was considered a luxury. My point is that we are a covetous nation, a spoiled nation, a sinful nation.
