Watch What You Pray For ...
Orig: 07/28/08
"A number of years ago I took a leap of faith and prayed a very dangerous
prayer: 'Lord, whatever you need to do to change me, do it. I want my mind to be like your mind.' He has answered my prayer every day since then, even though I have tried to rescind it on many occasions. For example, I have noticed that whenever I criticize someone for something, I do exactly the same thing within twenty-four hours. What embarrassment! What humiliation!
Yet, it is through these little embarrassing, humiliating incidents that God prunes us."
