Answers to prayers


Good Tuesday morning, my friends.

Have you been praying for something, but have felt that God is either ignoring you or has said "No" even though you believe what you are asking is something you need?  For me, it's been years and I still have not won the Playoff Hockey Pool.  Maybe this year ...

Read the prayer below ... perhaps His answer for you is in there.


Amazing Grace and Eternal Peace be yours,
Bruce


I asked God to take away my pain. 
 
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 is whole, her body is only temporary. 
 
 
I asked God to grant me patience. 
 
God said, No.  
Patience is a by-product of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learnt. 
 
 
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 for all things that I might enjoy life. 
 
God said, No.  
I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things. 
 
 
I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me. 
 
God said...Ahhhh, 
....finally you have the idea.
