Prayer...

"If someone asks God for patience, He gives them an opportunity to be patient.
If someone asks for courage, He gives them an opportunity to be courageous.
If someone asks for a closer family, He doesn't give them warm, fuzzy feelings, but an opportunity to grow closer."---Evan Almighty movie

Our prayers are not always answered in the exact ways that we expect them to be. We keep asking God for something and are sometimes ignorant to see that He has already answered that prayer, just in a more creative way. In the correct way, not in our way. He sees the whole picture, we don't. At times, instead of asking for the same thing 50 million times, we need to just thank Him for what He has done and to show us it when our eyes seem to be closed to it.
