Don't most Believers at one time or another pray for this very thing? If he heals cancer and such, why not this social ill?

If there is such a thing as an allmighty god, then he should be charged with dereliction of duty and neglect...

He will. But what is the point of doing so when the world is so corrupted by religious leaders and politicians? He said he would do so under his Kingdom, not during this wicked system of things.

Because poverty is a cancer of human behavior. We can put an end to it if we want. Just need to stop being so collectively greedy, and there is a chance. And I think that God sees this as our responsibility anyway.

Poverty is a result of the inequity brought about by sin. It's man's neglect not God God WILL banish poverty along with ALL our physical and social ills. I hope you have accepted Christ so that you can witness that great day with your new ANGELIC eyes!

It's up to us to take care of poorer people, it's a blessing to help the poor for Jesus said "The poor will always be with us" Not everyone one is blessed with a good home or family or live in a bountiful country and god entrusts us as Christians to do what we can to help them. Poverty is good in a way that you may not be tempted by some evils of this world and God makes no guarantee to spare us from trouble but he does guarantee he will help us and be a comfort and source of strength in trouble. A person in need can be closer to God than a person who wants for nothing and says to themselves "Who needs God, I have all that I want" but they fool themselves for they lose their eternal soul to damnation.

Psa 37:25 I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
