God is and does good - ALWAYS

“Remember this, had any other condition been better for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you there. You are placed by God in the most suitable circumstances… Be content with such things as you have, since the Lord has ordered all things for your good.” ~ C.H. Spurgeon

Ouch

"Neglect of prayer signals serious deficiencies in a ministry even if other signs of success have not diminished. We must always remember that popular acclaim is not necessarily the same as spiritual effectiveness." ~ Bryan Chapell (Christ-Centered Preaching)
