One possibility is that God hears all your prayers but doesn't give a shit. If She finds you annoying, She might even make your situation worse with a little smiting. So the moral is, take your medicine and don't overdo the worship.

Yes, this is the way mortgages work. I remember thinking my 6.25% (about 23 years ago) was a good deal. Then I got a steal with next house at 4.5%, and sat on that way too long before finally refinancing *the day before* rates started going up and never coming back in 2022: 2.7% on 25 yrs
