Question about prayer

[Torrent v.3]

Maybe money is your idol.

Maybe false humility is your idol, and therefore the demon has a vested interest in not giving you a promotion.

I mean, if you're going to make up silly scenarios, one's as good as the other.

Its not silly.

More fundamentally, since when do demons manipulate circumstances? That's not biblical.

Providence is God's exclusive purview. It's above Balrog's pay grade.

Really? Satan didn't kill Job's family?

Really? Satan didn't kill Job's family?

Not without God's permission, he didn't.

At the most fundamental level, God was responsible for the death of Job's family.

...just linking that thought back to the OP.
