Faith is blessed assured hope in the evidence that is yet unseen. I read a story once about some guy who was in desperate financial straits. One day he prayed to God for winning a nominal sum in the lottery. Week after week went by but he still didn't win. One day He asked God why He didn't answer his prayer. God said, "I want to answer your prayer but this requires action on your part. Could you at least meet me half-way and buy a ticket?" As for winning Powerball, I would very happy settling for winning a nominal sum of just a million. I haven't bought a ticket yet but then I haven't prayed to God for blessing me and my wife in this specific financial way. Still there must be action on my part of some sort or my faith in this prayer may return void.
