I asked God to take away my pride.
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."
Her spirit was whole, her body was only temporary.
I asked God to grant me patience.
God said "No."
Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is earned.
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 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!
The Name Of Jesus is the shortest,

Everyone can say it,
even in the midst of his/her daily work.
God cannot refuse to hear it.
Let us then invoke the Name of Jesus,
asking Him to save us from the calamities that threaten us.
Today you were in my thoughts and I prayed for you...
