A beautiful prayer

[Guest guest]

Am going through a very rough time right now, with one of my kids. I'm

still able to count my blessings, and the biggest one is that I have an amazing

husband, and 5 great kids. That's what enables me to deal with the

events in life that can be overwhelming. Anyway, I came across this, and

thought it to be quite profound. Hope you guys get something from it as

well.

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.

May God Bless You,

" To the world you might be one person, but to one

person you just might be the world "

" Even the word 'IMPOSSIBLE' says 'I M POSSIBLE' "
