A BEAUTIFUL PRAYER : I asked God

A BEAUTIFUL PRAYER : I asked God 

I asked God to take away my habit.

God said, No.

It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up. 

I asked God to grant me patience.

God said, No.

Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned. 

I asked God to give me happiness.

God said, No.

I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.  

I asked God to spare me pain.

God said, No.

Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me. 

I asked God to make my spirit grow.

God said, No.

You must grow on your own! But I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.

God said, No. 

I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.

I ask God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.

God said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.

May God Bless you,
