Don't Take My Cross Away

It's Biblical and right to pray about all our problems. Sometimes God takes our problems away when we ask. But think for a moment what we would be like if God took all our problems and trials away and life was always easy and rosy. Would we have compassion for others? Would we remember to pray? Would we need God? Would we ever see God make His strength perfect in our weakness? Would we see God provide? Would our faith be strengthened? Would He be real to us?
