One common danger that Larry Crabb points out in his book The Papa Prayer is a tendency to think that blessings from God satisfy our souls more deeply than God Himself. "The problem, of course, is that our relationship with God is so shallow that the pleasure it brings really is less than the pleasure we feel when life goes well."
The second reason Larry warns against the deceitfulness of things outwardly going well in our lives is because frankly, truly and sincerely living for God doesn't always produce a warm feeling of joy and meaning. "In the moment...giving priority to our relationship with God may not produce the maximum satisfaction in our souls that we legitimately desire."
