A question from Evan
In the film, God (as the server "Al Mighty") talks to Joan and tries to help her understand why her husband says God told him to build an ark. God says, "If someone prays for patience, do think God gives them patience or opportunities to be patient? If someone prays for courage, does God give them courage, or give them opportunites to be courageous? And if a someone prays for a family to become closer, do you think God zaps them with loving feelings or gives them opportunities to become closer?" What can you understand about the way God works from that conversation?

god doesnt control us he gives us the oppertunity to use free will to do what we pray for
he dont give you what you ask he give you opportunities to get what you want
God isnt willling to allow us to be lazy, but rather work for the things we ask for. While keeping the whole opportunity notion in mind; God will perhaps give us an extra doller to win the lottery instead of just letting us win it?
God Is not going to give you your own emotions and feelings but he can give you the chances to feel these emotions

God gives people chances to become what gift they ask for whether it be courage or wisdom etc. But these are just cahcnes. If the people do not see these chances, or even worse, don't do anything about these chances when they know they could become better people, then they waste these chances and will maybe eventually learn God gives us oppurtunities, not the direct gift.
God isnt going to give us everything we ask for;
he gives us the oppurtunity to get what we want, but it is up to us whether or not we put in the work that is required for us to get what we ask for.
