Hmmm! That you are a child of God does not mean you won’t go through trying times. Also, the prosperity doctrine being peddled by preachers today makes it seem as if you are a Christian and you are not prospering financially then maybe you do not have faith or you are not praying/fasting/tithing enough.

Sometimes in terms of finance/business, it is best to rely on your own power. What do I mean? Think of it this way. If you became aware today that there was no God, no being in control of your life, what would you do? You would probably sit down and analyze why things are not going well. Do you need to switch businesses or get another job, or do more networking.

I am a Christian but still struggle with my faith. If I don’t pray today or miss some days of prayer and something bad happens i start wondering if it is because of the missed prayer. When things are not going well, i start wondering what sort of prayer/fasting favored people are doing that i am not doing. Perhaps I am not decreeing and declaring enough? Or is the doubt in my heart visible for God to see and so chooses not to bless me? So many thoughts always running through my head.

And then i see atheists/sinners who are prospering and I just find myself wondering.

I hate the doubt in my spirit but can’t seem to get rid of it.

Thank you. Really appreciate your contribution.

I wouldn't hire you. If I hired you, you'd do the above and claim you are a good employee and deserve a reward when the truth is you abandoned your business and spent your time doing the above.

There are two things, amongst others, that should not merely be believed but known for absolute certainty. The first is:

God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

The pity in the above is the "blessed them" comes first, when the fact is that you'd be blessed only after obeying the "be fruitful" instruction.

The second is:

By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”

It means, you will not be blessed unless you invest your sweat.
