My Prayer

I asked God to take away my pride and God said “NO”

He said it was not for him to take away but for me to give it up.

 I asked God to grant me patience and God said “NO”

He said patience is a byproduct of tribulations it isn’t granted it’s earned.

 I asked God to give me happiness and God said “NO”

He said he gives blessing happiness is up to me.

So now I found my happiness with someone I love and love me too.

 I asked God to spare my pain and God said “NO”

He said suffering draws you apart from worldly cares but brings you closer to me.

I asked God if he loves me and God said “Yes”

I asked God to help me love others as much as he loves me

And God said “Ah, finally you have the idea”.

And now I learned to love others even my enemies and the one who let me down,

 without them I never be stronger like this than before and have faith in God.
