Interesting thoughts on suffering.
And indeed suffering does come into petitionary prayer, but only tangentaly.
I must admit it was probably far too long a post.
I get excited about PP though because I think it really does give an insight into the Christian God. I believe that IF PP is efficacious (as the Bible tells us it is) then there can only be one, very specific, set of divine attributes that would be compatible with it. And even more interestingly, none of the academic commentators on PP champion this set of attributes.
That however, is probably just my own fetish!
