A  BEAUTIFUL PRAYER


 


     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 make my handicapped child whole.


     God said, no.


     His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary


 


     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.

Thanks for being here.
