Tribulation is promised Jn.16:33
Jesus Christ became poor for our sake
Can we pray for material blessings?
Eg. Paul's prayer, Lord's blessing
Asking for daily bread. Cp 3Jn.2 prayer for
prosperity and health

Material prosperity is not the mark of God's
approval of our life.Eg. Lazarus and rich
man.
God blesses, both wicked and good with
sun and rain. Matt.5:45-48
So God's blessing is not an indicator of our
spiritual state eg.Laodicea and Smyrna
Rev.2:9 and 3:17; water came from the
smitten rock Num.
Be content ...He shall provide Read
Ps.34:10

divine provisions?
Israelites murmured against God.Num.11:4-6, in spite of eating Manna Ps.105:37
Am I a fence crawler ? Shepherds some
times break the legs of such once Ps 51:8
