"Many fine Christian believers are wondering why they are not getting answers to their prayers and why they are suffering something they feel sure they should not be suffering. They have done everything they know to do to lay claim to a certain biblical promise, and yet it seems to elude them. If this is true of you, I want to assure you that nothing is wrong with you, and nothing is wrong with your faith. But there is a process that is necessary to your ultimate spiritual maturity, and many of the negative things that happen to you on a daily basis are simply part of that process, part of God's order of things. His desire is that your faith be perfected. He wants you to take your faith from one level to the next ... until you have reached The Seventh Level." - Lloyd W. Blount
