You should never pray God to remove your difficulties

 Hanuman served the human incarnation even in His worldly affairs. Gopikas sacrificed the butter, which was their livelihood. You should learn the sacrifice of work from Hanuman and sacrifice of fruit of work from Gopikas for the sake of the contemporary human incarnation. Kunthi requested the Lord to grant always difficulties so that she can think Him always. This is very important aspect and you should never pray God to remove your difficulties, which surround you by His grace only.

Kuchela also never aspired any materialistic help from God and you should learn this aspect from him. Draupadi insisted the Lord to destroy the Kauravas, who insulted her. The Lord fulfilled her desire but, got all her sons killed on the last day of the war. Therefore, you should never insist the Lord to fulfill your desire. You should learn the aspects of devotion and service from the devotees associated with the human incarnations.

I agree with MyDigitalpoint. God has become the being to which we all can tell our true feelings towards, without hiding anything, due to the fact this God is already all-knowing. In addition, by telling God our problems and difficulties, it allows us to recognize problems and realize the true value of things. In other words, by praying to God, we are both helping ourselves directly and indirectly.

I like this message. I interrupt it as meaning, "Don't try to skip out of the hard work because it is what you need to grow". This makes sense in the light of reincarnation especially. If God handles all of the hard stuff for you, it is like a parent always solving your problems. You never fully mature.
