Opportunity

Let me ask you something.

If someone prays for patience,

you think God gives him patience

or does he give him the opportunity to be patient?

If he prayed for courage,

does God give him courage

or does he give him 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

the opportunities to love each other?
