God's Ways

"If someone prays for patience, do you think God gives them patience... or does He give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prays for courage, do you think God gives them courage... or does He give the the opportunity to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings... or does He give them opportunities to love each other?"
