Prayer and Opportunity



This week I watched the movie, "Evan Almighty," with my family. Here is a quote from the film I really like:

God: Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities 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?

And that's that.

P.S. The picture above was taken at my mom and dad's house apprx. 4 years ago. Isn't it beautiful?
