I'm not a fatalistic type of person at all so it's not about that, but I've heard it said many many times, and I'm sure you have as well, that the Church often does best when people are going through hard times. Look at the church overseas where there has been and is still ongoing persecution and where people have to live with very little. Some of those places have experienced major revival. China is one excellent example!
Many of the great revivals that have taken place have happened during hard times and in places where people have to be prepared to lay down their lives if they're going to live for God and preach the gospel.
