God said "No". Patience is a by-product of tribulations. It is not granted. It is earned.

I asked God to give me happiness.

God said "No". I give you blessings. Happiness is up to you.

I asked God to spare me pain.

God said "No". Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow.

God said "No". You must grow on your own but I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.

God said "No". I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things.

I then asked God to help me LOVE others as much as He loves me.

God said.... "Ahhhhh. You finally get the idea!

Stop telling God how big your storm is.
