Football Practice is TOO HARD!!!

Imagine the mother of a football player complaining to the coach that her son is coming home from practice tired, hungry and sore, and that practices shouldn’t be so physically demanding.  Is that how we sometimes pray to God when life, and maybe even the devil is dealing challenging blows to us?  How did Jesus pray for Peter when he was in such a place?   “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.” Luke 22:31-32  …Perhaps we should follow Jesus' example and focus on increased faith rather than decreased difficulties.
