美好的祈禱

我求神賜我耐心。

神說，不。耐心來自於苦難中的磨練；不是賜與的，而是學習得來的。

我求神給我快樂。

神說，不。我賜你恩惠。快樂與否是由得你的。

我求神免我苦難。

神說，不。苦難讓你拋開世界的憂慮，來到我跟前。

我求神使我的靈成長。

神說，不。成長在於你 ﹐ 但我照料你，使你旺盛。

我祈求一切能讓我享受生命的事物。

神說，不。我賜你生命 ﹐ 使你能享受一切。

我求神讓我愛世人 ﹐ 如神愛我一樣。

神說，啊 ﹐ 你終於明白了。

停止向神哭訴你的風暴有多大。反之，告訴你的風暴，你的神是多麼大！

我的神如此偉大，如此強大，如此力大！沒有甚麼是神不能為你做的！

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.

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 God loves me.

God said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.

Stop telling God how big your storm is, instead tell your storm how big your GOD is.

MY GOD IS SO GREAT, SO STRONG AND SO MIGHTY. THERE'S NOTHING MY GOD CANNOT DO FOR YOU!
