Guest guest Posted June 19, 2001 Report Share Posted June 19, 2001 DIVINE REQUESTS I asked God to send me his friends. He sent you. 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. " 3. 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 by-product 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. " 7. 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... " Ahhh, finally! You have the idea.
