Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me!

(J. R. Miller, "Miller's Year Book--a Year's Daily Readings")

"Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me! But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you--for My power is made perfect in your weakness!' " 2 Corinthians 12:8-9

Many prayers which seem to be unanswered--are really answered. The blessing comes--but in a form we do not recognize. Instead of the very thing we sought--something better is given!

The burden is not lifted away--but we are sustained beneath it.

We are not spared the suffering--but in the suffering we are brought nearer to God, and receive more of His grace.

The sorrow is not taken away--but is changed to joy.

Our ignorant prayers are taken into the hands of the great Intercessor, and are answered in ways far wiser than our thought!

Instead of earthly trifles--heavenly riches!

Instead of things which our poor wisdom sought--things God's infinite wisdom chose for us!

Instead of pleasure for a day--gain for eternity!

A line that could have issued verbatim from the mouth of any schoolyard bully shaking down the geeky kid with glasses for his lunch money.

Any "god" that inflicts pain and misery on his alleged creations with such incredible sadistic relish is no god of mine.

That's your perception and your call. God has a way of giving us what we want.

Right. Just ask Job. No doubt he wanted his family slaughtered, his wealth destroyed, and his health ruined.
