Why do some problems last forever?{Even with prayer}

Despite what the "name it and claim it" branch of Christianity tells us, sometimes "claiming it" I see that "claiming the opposite of the circumstances" doesn't always work. Some problems are more stubborn than others.With me this has happened, but also I've heard of it in other cases with other people.What reminded me of this is a news item I heard.The dictator of North Korea,Kim Jong Un, is now in critical condition.I thought, those people in North Korea had his father as a dictator, then him, if he dies they'll be free of dictatorship.But then I heard his sister is as ruthless as them,and she would take over. So much for their "dictatorship problems"ending.That's one example. In my own life, I've had maybe a problem, I think of a way out,{or even pray or have others pray with me}and it would look like the problem "recedes" but sure enough!it's not long before it rears it's head again.Could be in different categories.besides even me and North Korea, there's Paul. I wonder how the "name it and claim it" crowd would explain Paul."Just so I would not get puffed up with pride, it was granted me a thorn in the flesh, an angel of Satan , and 3 times I entreated the Lord to remove it, BUT He said my grace is sufficient"So this "name it and claim it" crowd, who think that you just say something and the problem just goes away in that instant, vanishes in a puff of smoke, my experience has been different. I've had, for example, troublesome people I've tried to get out of my life, and almost immediately after I and others have prayed and claimed it, the phone rings and it's that person!!And{another thing some might say}it's not always something we brought on ourselves,because Job was described as "there was a man of Uz, named Job, who was PERFECT IN ALL HIS WAYS'...but he still had "problems."So why are some problems more stubborn than others, even with prayer, and even if we follow God? You tell me.

I believe that there are reason for everything that is happening. Sometimes we understand the reason only after decades (same as I had experienced), but there is a reason. As I pondered, would it be better if God allowed all parts of the world to always be at peace? For me not. There will be lack of soul growth and it will be a bit boring. You live from day 1, you grow and create a peaceful life and doing only good and doing it for the rest of your life. I would still choose this life of ups and downs. It's memorable, it makes me curious and makes me explore, there are pain but it makes me better, and makes life looks fun. Name it and claim it. Claim that God wants the best for His people. Our claim may not be the best in His plans for us. I think, the current thing with the N.Korea, they are teaching the world many things. Some of the fear that they create in other countries makes the other nations want to be better. Because of them, nations of this generation can understand what is communism and pushes to avoid it from happening on their own country. N.Koreans (general mass) can be a model for strength. Despite of their sufferings, they do not quit on life. There are more things to learn from them. They have a purpose. But I respect your opinion and I understand your frustrations.
