What is your point?

Who are you to judge?

My point is that suffering is a part of life which God has blessed us with for our ultimate benefit. When we have suffering in this life it doesn’t mean that God is necessarily punishing us. Or that we don’t have enough faith. Or that someone sinned.

It doesn’t even have to mean that someone else’s free will is having negative consequences for us.

But Osteen teaches a variation on Norman Vincent Peale’s old schtick.

I do not believe prayer life should be used to seek a comfortable life but rather a life of dependance on God.
