In the same way as we, in our watchfulness in prayer, do not always get everything that we want, so God himself does not always get everything that he wants. There are theological systems that will lead you to believe he does—that will argue and say confidently that he does. There are Bible teachers that will paradoxically say he does. But, if we dive deep within ourselves, we certainly cannot believe that he does. Look at the totality of the evil on the earth. We know there are other beings in this world. One of those beings, the Bible calls the god of this world. We know him as Satan, and we know that he, with those beings who work under him, work and reap great havoc on the earth. That’s why he does what he does, because he can work to accomplish things that God does not want—he can work to destroy lives, and to destroy Christian’s lives. That’s one reason we are praying in the first place.
