Sounds like an opportunity. Let me ask you something.
If one prays for patience, do you think
God gives them patience? Or does he give
them the opportunity to be patient?
They pray for courage, does God
give them courage, or does he give them
opportunities to be courageous?
If one prayed for their family to be closer, you think
God zaps them with warm, fuzzy feelings?
Or does he give them opportunities to love each other?
Well, I got to run. A lot of people to serve.

~God
