"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?"
