Difficulties provide platform upon which God demonstrate his power. God don't cause problem but permit problem in order to keep us fit in prayer.
Any man who keep prayer aside is looking for problem cause prayer and problem move together. The devil is a spirit and if you want to fight him you must become spirit cause if you are on the flesh the devil becomes higher than you.
Problem means a trial of test, deep sorrow or temptation. Problem is a bad visitor, problem don't come with money but takes away money job 5:6-7 , 14:1.
While prayer is the voice of man in problem. Jonah 2:1-2. Problem drives men into prayer and prayer brings men out of problem.
