Something to which to take Umbrage

At the risk of sounding like a heretic, I believe our prayers define our view of God. 

We believe God will heal a sick person, only if we specifically ask, while he stands or sits bye as a child is beaten to death or sexually molested. 

We believe that while we are traveling God will let us run into a tree unless we have asked him to protect us. 

We believe God will let our soldiers lean on an IED unless we specifically ask him to stop them. But if asked and only if asked he will change the trajectory of a bullet or missile to avoid our friend. 

You may suspect me of this already but what would you think of me if we were walking down the street and while I could see it about to happen I let you walk into a street sign. When you asked why I didn't tell you I say you did not ask me to. 

Since I do not like to volunteer to do things but will if asked, does that make me Christlike? That apparently is how we view Jesus.

We should really evaluate how we really perceive God.
