—2 Corinthians 7:5-11

Sometimes I wonder if life is too easy and that is why I do not feel as close to God as I should. It is amazing how my prayer life picks up when troubles come. However, when things work out and problems are resolved, I go on my happy way and God is left on the sidelines again. Perhaps this was what Paul was referring to when he talked about “sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret” (v. 10). Maybe if we could focus on God more often, He would not have to get our attention through the problems that come our way.
