be brave

God:Let me ask you something.
 　　If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience?
　　Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient?
　　If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage,
　　or does he give him opportunities to be courageous?
　　If someone prayed for the family to be closer,
　　do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings,
　　or does he give them opportunities to love each other?
